Today we'll attempt a feat once thought impossible, overcoming high interest credit card debt. It requires merely one thing, a SOFI personal loan. With it, you could save big on interest charges by consolidating into one low fixed rate monthly payment. Defy high interest debt with a SOFI personal loan. Visit sofi.com stunt to learn more. Loans originated by Sofi Bank NA member FDIC terms and conditions apply. NMLS 696891 Dan Bongino and cash Patel are both reportedly threatening to quit the FBI over the botched Epstein release. Cover up, whatever you want to call it. Apparently Dan Bongino refused to come into work today and then threatened to leave unless Pam Bondi was removed. Cash says if Dan's out, then I'm out. And now you've got this whole big hubbub and there's a lot of rumors, theories, conspiracies which we can break into as to what is actually going on. Some still think that this is all part of the plan. It's a grand conspiracy to deceive you. Throw Pam Bond under the bus. Others are saying Trump is using the Epstein blackmail to get his agenda through. We will talk about this and much, much more. We do have a bunch of other stories. Apparently, according to Wired, the videos that they released of the prison were edited despite them claiming it was a raw release. Now, one of them was modified, one of them was supposedly not. And Wired, as we went in, we checked the data and this was modified in some way. So we'll talk, talk about that. And then we've got the $50,000 reward for the extremists who open fire on the cops. You got in. In the Pacific Northwest, they released and I suspected and arrested and charged terrorists who firebombed Tesla facilities. They released this person. So we'll talk about all that stuff.

Tim Pool
And last but not least, I'm Dr. Drew.
Dr. Drew
You can find me at Drdew.com, ask Dr. Drew on Rumble and follow there. And somebody, my wife is yelling at me today. It's rumble.com askdrdrew I think something like that. But yeah, it's all@drdrew.com, drew TV. But we were on Culture Wars, Chloe and I and Tim very kindly said come back anytime. And so my flight got massively delayed, so I came back so same day. I couldn't get enough of this.
Tim Pool
But we do have at least one more homegrown talent in this good sir here.
Tate Brown
True producer Tate Tate Brown. We got a star studded panel here, so I'm just happy to be involved. Let's get after it.
Tim Pool
Here we go. Here's the big story. Daily Wires got the reporting now. This is Bondi or Bongino. Bongino won't remain at FBI if Bondi keeps job, sources say. First thing I want to do is shout out to Laura Loomer, who broke this story first thing this morning with reporting that Dan Bongino didn't show up and was threatening to quit. Daily Wire's Mary Margaret and Zach Jewell then were able to corroborate more of this reporting with additional sources. So this looks legit. Suffice it to say, Laura has had tremendous scoops in the administration. So as soon as I saw this, I was like, this one's going to be big. Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, is threatening to leave the bureau if Attorney General Pam Bondi remains on the job, a source close to Bongina tells the Daily Wire. Bongino is reportedly furious with AG Pam Bondi over her handling of the Epstein files, which has led many to believe he could walk away from the job that he took in February. The source close to Bongino said he's effectively issued an ultimatum saying he won't work alongside Bondi. Bongino left a lucrative career in broadcasting to take the job in the Trump administration. He was not present at the FBI on Friday after reported spat with the AG earlier this week over the Epstein situation. So apparently now we have this from Mary Margaret, who said source close to DOJ says Cash Patel also wants Pam Bondi gone and that he'd consider leaving if Bongino leaves. Also that there are more frustrations with other documents Bondi hasn't released confirming this from Shelby Talcott. Quote, Bongino in particular, one source said is frustrated. The DOJ at the start of the week declared that Epstein case effectively closed and determined that the accused sex trafficker died by suicide while awaiting trial. Was with few further details shared. He wants more documents unsealed, the source added. So there are many conspiracy theories right now. One that I heard is it interesting before the big beautiful bill is passed, we're hearing all about the Epstein files. After the big beautiful bill is passed, Nothing to see here, folks. There's no client list and case closed. Prince Andrew, you're free to go. And so the theory is Trump went to deep state, congressional, individual staffers and perhaps this, perhaps the speaker and said, if you don't pass my agenda, we drop the Epstein files. So then they went and said, okay, fine. And now Trump is effectively using that blackmail to get his agenda ramped through. I have no reason to believe that's the case. I just thought it was a very interesting idea. Another conspiracy is that Dan Bongino and Cash this is all part of their plan and Pam Bondi is the patsy. Why? Well, Mary Margaret additionally reports source close to DOJ leadership tells me, quote, Deputy AG Blanche Cash Patel and Dan Bongino started drafting the released memo in early July and worked on it through the July 4th weekend. After providing some edits, Cash and Dan signed off on the strategy and contents. Director Patel wrote that the memo was good with FBI. So some people are now speculating if that's true. They did themselves draft this whole strategy of an unnamed unsigned memo and all of that stuff, but are now acting like they. It's an affront to them. The conspiracy theory is that they are going to put the blame on Pam Bondi for the botched release, force her to be fired. And then the more extreme version is the Epstein files have been damaged, destroyed, or lost because of Bondi. Wrap it up in a nice little ball, throw it in the trash, and then say, sorry, guys, we can't do anything about it. It was, it was. It was Bondi's fault.
Connor Tomlinson
How many?
Chloe Carmichael
What would be their motivation for that?
Tim Pool
Well, if Trump, whatever is going on, when they come out and say Epstein killed himself and they say there's nothing to see here, nobody believes it. If your intention is to not release this stuff, how do you do it? Especially when Trump said in his campaign he's going to do it. Everyone is demanding it. The story will not go away. It was the top trending story all week, no matter what they tried. They came out and announced they were investigating Brennan and Comey, and that went beep and then gone and Epstein came back. So PR, strategy wise, what would you do? Guys, we're gonna need a patsy to blame, so who can we throw out the window? And then what? You. If you want to get real extreme with it, they can. They could come out and say, guys, we had the files. Bondi destroyed him. We don't know why, and now no one can ever blame you again. You have. You have centered all of the hate of Epstein to a single person, thrown him out of the administration. And anyone ever comes to you, you'll be like, yeah, that's so terrible. Blame that person who did it.
Connor Tomlinson
Quite literally scapegoating.
Tim Pool
Okay, so I'm not saying there's any evidence that's true, though.
Connor Tomlinson
No, but the reason for speculation, I'm gonna say, is how much of this is sort of post hoc rationalization by those of us who still have faith in the Trump administration after Pam Bondi specifically, has screwed this up so badly at pretty much every stage of it, because you can't come out and say, right, I have this massive pile of Epstein files on my desk waiting for me to sign off, and then go around on camera saying, right, oh, I've got video evidence that he was abusing children, and then invite a bunch of influencers to the White House for photo ops, for evidence on a child abuse case, like a global sex trafficking ring that they then smile and take photos with. And then that Turns out to be a nothing burger, and then turn around and said, well, yeah, there's absolutely nothing to the story, when literally everybody knows that the guy did not kill himself. Like, if you were going to pick one story to try and sweep under the rug, it's probably the absolute worst one because nobody believes the official line on it. So how many of these post hoc rationalizations are to say, well, this is all one big, great 4D chess move because Bondi has just screwed the pooch on all of this?
Tate Brown
Yeah, it seems like she's rapidly emerged as the fall gal in this case. I mean, the base is absolutely furious. Like you said, you can't sweep this one under the rug. This is the big ticket.
Tim Pool
I mean, if. If you've got this big story, Epstein and all of his clients, and they're demanding all the files you have and you don't want to release them, how easy would it be to just accuse her of having hoarded, destroyed, or done something to them, and then no one can ever ask you again, and it's not your fault. That's a PR play.
Chloe Carmichael
I think he was known as, like, Mr. Integrity.
Tim Pool
Yes, I agree.
Chloe Carmichael
And I just. I think he made it very clear in the time before that if he had any opportunity, he would make this happen and that he would not. You know, I feel silly seeing that he wouldn't lie to us because I know on some level they can't tell us everything, but I just have a hard time believing that they would really be feeding us that big of a sandwich, so to speak.
Tim Pool
Here's what I actually think. I think Dan is probably kept at somewhat of an arm's length on this. There's a video. I think we actually have the video. This is an old video where Dan says, let me play this video for you guys. We'll get it. We got it right here.
Dr. Drew
There's video that when you look at the video.
Tim Pool
And we will release. That's what's taken a while on this. We are working on cleaning it up to make sure you have an enhanced.
Connor Tomlinson
And we're going to give the original.
Dr. Drew
So you don't think there were any shenanigans?
Tim Pool
There's. I think what likely happened is Dan is told that by Pam, and he says, okay, good. So we're going to release this. Yes, this is the plan. We'll do it. He doesn't see the footage, and then he goes on TV and says this. Then when they release the footage, it's miserably offensive. It's like, offensively stupid. There's a minute missing. There's people coming and going, and he's probably going, my God. So now he's pissed, and he walks out and says, fire that lady. Because he trust. He trusts them in the release of this stuff. And then they screw everything up.
Dr. Drew
You say that to fire them. Fire that lady Trump. Right. So there's no way this all isn't happening without his involvement, right? Oh, yeah, on some level. And you can imagine Boncino and Cash Pa going to Trump and saying, we have a problem.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dr. Drew
And him siding with them. And look, a lot of people end up in Trump's lives unhappy with Trump. And it's situations like this where he dismisses people, he uses them, he puts. Sets them up, and they're cast out if they're not useful to him. So this is all smelling of that kind of thing again. My bet is these guys will not leave. They're not going anywhere. But Pam Bondi seems to be really in danger.
Tim Pool
Yep.
Dr. Drew
And remember, she wasn't the first pick.
Tim Pool
Right, Gates?
Dr. Drew
Mm.
Connor Tomlinson
Well, them going to Trump would also explain why Trump was so annoyed when the reporter raised it at the press conference. Because he's probably been having conversations about this behind the scenes.
Dr. Drew
No way. He's not involved in it.
Connor Tomlinson
He is.
Dr. Drew
Although he has.
Connor Tomlinson
He.
Dr. Drew
You know, Adam Kroll was pointing out the other day, he goes, you know, Trump is a builder and he's used to hiring subs, subcontractors, and they've all gotta be great, and they've gotta be coming on time and under budget, and if they are not, they are out. And so he's used to doing this.
Chloe Carmichael
Something was definitely off at that meeting where Trump was like, are we still talking about that? I mean, he knows that everybody's talking about that. I was actually. I think Trump is so masterful, usually with, like, social situations. I was actually surprised that he tried something that fell so flat. I really. I rarely see him try something that falls flat. And that was thin. And it fell flat. There was something off in that meeting.
Tate Brown
Well, he's been getting increasingly flustered in press situations, like the F bomb right after the Iran Israel situation. And so it's like. I mean, I'm a big Trump guy, obviously, but it's, like, a little concerning that he's having these moments where he's completely seems, like, out of control or that situation's out of control.
Connor Tomlinson
I don't know if your foreign policy was the entire time playing daycare for, like, ethno religious grudges that last thousands of years in the Middle East. I would probably drop a couple of F bombs.
Dr. Drew
Yeah.
Tate Brown
I crash out.
Dr. Drew
I just grew bomb. I think these were all carefully managed and carefully placed. The F bomb. And what he said at the Cabinet meeting, he achieved his ends.
Tate Brown
I mean, it's either that or he's firing warning shots.
Chloe Carmichael
What was his end then?
Dr. Drew
Just not get the press off it. Just shut up for a minute, okay? Just shut up. It doesn't have to go away forever. Just you people shut up so we can figure this out.
Tate Brown
I mean, the way Trump does operate is he does like the fire off warning shots. So it's like that could have been directed at one singular person watching that interview. I mean, that. That's been happening for years with the way Trump operates.
Chloe Carmichael
I like the way you put that, though. Tomlinson playing daycare for.
Connor Tomlinson
That's the same. Same with British politics at the moment. It's like you've just got to play daycare with grown men's egos to stop. Stop each other devouring each other. So I can imagine Trump, who just wants to build things, getting very frustrated.
Tim Pool
Let's. Let's jump to this portion of the story. From wired metadata shows the FBI's that the FBI's raw Jeffrey Epstein prison video was likely modified. There's no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death. Now, what they basically say is they went. It's. They don't say there's evidence that, you know, they fake. They made fake footage. But at the bare minimum, they say it was modified, likely using Adobe Premiere Pro. Wow. It appears to have been assembled from at least two different source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then re. And then uploaded. The DOJ's website, where it was presented as raw footage, it was not. So when that minute is missing, that probably was a mistake of a crappy editor. So imagining Dan Bongino seeing this video come out and going, what did you do? I went on TV and said, we had this, and you put that out. So I think this plays a huge role in why he's pissed. But then the question becomes, the video is not raw, it is edited. Who did it and why? And what's the real story? And is it possible that Dan Bongino's frustration and threatening to quit is. It could be. He's a man of profound integrity, which I do think he is. I trust him. And so he's seeing all of these failings and being like, I can't be Party, whatever it is you guys are doing. However, those who do not trust him, it could be you botched our cover up and screwed it up. You're fired.
Connor Tomlinson
I think the first is much more likely.
Tim Pool
I agree.
Connor Tomlinson
I think also he had probably not seen the footage and gone off word of mouth when he went on television and said the guy killed himself because he was told we have footage of Epstein killing himself. Which is why he sounded uncharacteristically uncertain and uncomfortable when being pressed on it by the press wasn't. He was engaging in active cover up. He's saying, I'm gonna put my reputation on going on trust for something that I've been told. When it comes out, he's like, well, now I look like a fool.
Tim Pool
Could you imagine if he quits, comes back to his show and says, guys, they never proved to me he killed himself. They told me he did. They said, trust us, we'll get the footage out, just trust us. And that's why he went on TV and said it.
Chloe Carmichael
Is he allowed to be that open though? I don't know. Like, is there an NDA, like a non disclosure? If he leaves, is he legally prohibited from disclosing that type of thing?
Tim Pool
Probably, yeah.
Tate Brown
Well, you also had the weird interview with Brett Baer where they were asking Brett Bear is asking him and Cash about it. And they were like almost exasperated, like, yes, he killed himself. There's no doubt in my mind he killed himself.
Connor Tomlinson
Please don't kill me.
Tate Brown
Yeah, it was like a weird cornered animal.
Dr. Drew
Like I thought he was going to start blinking. Sos.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dr. Drew
Interview. Yeah. Am I the only person in America though, that doesn't care about this story? I hate this story.
Tate Brown
It feels a bit Reddit at this point.
Dr. Drew
Yeah, it feels exactly what it feels like to me. It's just like I've done. Who cares? We'll figure it out. We'll not figure it out. We're gonna find out when we find out.
Connor Tomlinson
I think it's pretty important if all of your governments and your academia and your media and that is run by a pedophile ring. I think that's pretty important.
Tim Pool
Probably with your government too.
Connor Tomlinson
Unbelievably so.
Dr. Drew
Embedded in that is the presumption that they have a reason to keep this stuff quiet. You floated the theory about getting the bill through. There's other international relations theories and there's many, many theories there out. Why would you feel the need to keep it would not be trivial, right? Why they kept it, why they have to keep it quiet. So keep it quiet till you can tell us and then tell us.
Connor Tomlinson
But I think if it's so seismic that they are keeping it quiet for a strategic reason, they won't want to tell us because it would collapse ever. Trust in. I think it would. Well, until all the parties are dead, either through natural causes or by whatever. I've got Epstein.
Dr. Drew
So even then you get the JFK files years later, then who knows what.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah, you get redacted version. But if this, if this really does implicate multiple world governments, multiple foreign intelligence agencies, multiple international institution heads, members of monarchies, I mean the stakes are almost too high for them to actually fess it up.
Chloe Carmichael
I think it's what it symbolizes is that there's probably a lot of people that are beholden to blackmail. And what does that mean then as far as, you know, agendas and levers of power that are.
Dr. Drew
Blackmail is a part of how our government operates, apparently, which I was not aware of. I've been made aware of by some people.
Tim Pool
I would just assume that if we go back to like Jagger Hoover.
Dr. Drew
Yeah.
Tim Pool
It's just it. I'm pretty sure some kind of blackmail is always.
Dr. Drew
Go back to Thomas Jefferson and the affair he had. Yeah, I mean what was her name? Maria.
Chloe Carmichael
Sally Jennings.
Dr. Drew
No, Maria. Oh, that was another. No one ever found out about that one. But no, he had an affair with a woman and her husband blackmailed him.
Tim Pool
Wow.
Dr. Drew
You don't know about this? It was in the. It's in the play. It's actually in the play. Hamlet.
Connor Tomlinson
Hamilton.
Dr. Drew
Hamilton.
Connor Tomlinson
We have a running joke in the UK that the Conservative Party is a sexual blackmail ring with a political party attached.
Tim Pool
James T. Callender.
Dr. Drew
It was Hamilton that was blackmailed and Jefferson made the most of it. I got it wrong. It's in the play.
Tim Pool
Oh, it says James T. Calendar is the man famously associated with blackmailing Thomas Jefferson.
Dr. Drew
Oh, Jefferson got also. Yeah. So they were all being blackmailed.
Tim Pool
Scandal mongering journalists after being financially supported by Jefferson to publish attacks on the Federalists to turned on Jefferson when he wasn't rewarded with a political appointment. In retaliation, he published accusations that Jefferson had a long term sexual relationship with his slave Sally Hemings.
Tate Brown
So if anything, this is a story about America's greatness.
Dr. Drew
Blackmail and then Hamilton. Look up Hamilton's blackmail. That story did break and he was in charge of the entire economy at the time.
Tim Pool
James Reynolds and his wife blackmailed Hamilton. Maria Reynolds had an affair with Hamilton in 1791. James Reynolds discovered it and extorted money from Hamilton to keep the affair a Secret.
Dr. Drew
And the blackmail at the time was, you're trying to establish the economy for this country. We can't even trust you not to be blackmail. Why should we trust you with the centralized bond and centralized currencies?
Tim Pool
There is a much older and bigger conspiracy that the US Never broke away from the Crown. That when Ian.
Connor Tomlinson
In the room.
Tim Pool
Ian's not here. But the conspiracy theory is that basically when. When the British, they're at war and they're fighting in the colonies, they reassess the fighting and, you know, Parliament, the king, they're basically like, wait, hold on. They're trying to do what? Well, they want to have a government where they just vote forever. It's like, then why are we fighting? And we'll just win the elections? And so then loyalists started running with. With resources provided from the Crown to win elections. And they said, so long as our people win the elections, we control this country anyway.
Tate Brown
Yeah. And I mean, also, like, the loyalists could. As long as you're cool with one of the. One of our founding fathers, you were good. Like, Lord Fairfax was the only member of British peerage that actually kept his titles after the war because he was buddies with George Washington. Like, there was a way out of it. You just have to be cool with. Just be cool, George.
Connor Tomlinson
I think said conspiracy may have run into the wall in 1945 when FDR cannibalized most of the British Empire. I think the deal was rescinded back then. We've had Multiple examples of MPs in the former government just having sexual blackmail run on them. Like, one MP phoned, I think it was the whip's office is basically the sort of guy that keeps all the MPs in line, saying, I'm in a brothel, and I was brought here by a KGB agent. Can you bail me out? One other one phoned up a member of his office in the middle of the night saying that he'd hired a rent boy who had stolen all his money, and so he needed to buy, borrow money from the party to quash blackmail. There was the.
Tim Pool
Did you guys know that my life.
Dr. Drew
Needs to be a lot more interesting?
Tim Pool
Do you guys know that 43 out of 46 US presidents are believed to be descendants of Charlemagne? It's kind of not surprising if you're like, some dude who conquered and had a bunch of kids has a bunch of descendants, to be fair. Yeah.
Tate Brown
I think, like, pretty much every Western European is ascended from Charlemagne.
Dr. Drew
It's like Genghis Khan and Asian side.
Tate Brown
Yeah, Yeah. I mean, if you look at some of the names that were rumored to be floating around on this Epstein list. Like, there's certainly blackmail going on. I mean, these are huge, huge players.
Tim Pool
Look at that. Virtually every person of European descent is likely descended from Charlemagne.
Tate Brown
Yeah, he was a player. He had Riz.
Tim Pool
Unspoken. Riz.
Chloe Carmichael
Virginia Duffrey committed suicide just a few weeks ago. You know, she was going to be one of the star witnesses. You know, she's the 17 year old in the picture with Prince Andrew.
Tim Pool
And.
Chloe Carmichael
And then she was run off the road by a bus or something and.
Tim Pool
The bus driver denied it.
Chloe Carmichael
Yeah. And then she post this. Committed suicide.
Tim Pool
Well, she posts this thing where she's all battered, saying, I just need a few days to see my kids. Like, who are you telling that to?
Chloe Carmichael
And then she died. I mean, there is something, I think going on there. I don't know what.
Connor Tomlinson
The same with. The same with Robert Maxwell, right? He took a fall off of his boat and he just so happens to been working for Mossad.
Tim Pool
Lost.
Connor Tomlinson
I know your chat's just gonna light up right now, but this all stinks. This totally glows. It's radioactive.
Tate Brown
They've been sloppy with the assassination since the Clintons. Allegedly. Cause like, I mean, there was the one. Whereas the lady that accused Bill Clinton and she was working at a Starbucks and someone came in, it was like in Georgetown. Just shot her at point blank range and didn't take anything. And everyone's like, oh yeah, it was a hold up gone wrong. And it's like they're getting sloppy. What's going on?
Tim Pool
Wow. What was that story?
Tate Brown
Yeah, it was an accuser of Clinton in Georgetown. She worked at a Starbucks. This would have been the 90s, late 90s.
Tim Pool
Really? Yeah, yeah, I just walked in.
Tate Brown
Yeah, the guy just walked in.
Tim Pool
There was that. There was that journalist who was investigating the CIA who committed suicide by shitting himself twice in the head.
Tate Brown
Yeah, it's like, oh yeah, he just went into a lake and stabbed himself in the back 25 times. Classic suicide.
Tim Pool
Yeah. The dude who shot himself, I always forget his name. They argue, well, he shot himself and it wasn't a lethal shot. So then he shot himself again to. To die. And most people hear that you shot yourself twice at that. They don't believe that. But the disgusting and unfortunate and tragic reality is people often it happens.
Dr. Drew
But you gotta look, you gotta show me the diagrams.
Connor Tomlinson
It was so extra impressive. They did it in the back of his head.
Tim Pool
I think one of them was actually. Huh, There you go.
Tate Brown
And with tape overs.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I don't know.
Connor Tomlinson
He actually Managed to put cement around his feet in a bucket and then hop all the way to the bottom of the ocean. Yeah, pretty good.
Tate Brown
Yeah, he's committed guy.
Dr. Drew
So what are we uncovering here? What are, what are we getting at?
Tim Pool
We're getting at the is real.
Tate Brown
They're getting.
Tim Pool
Why wouldn't the governments engage in these kinds of things? And yeah, you know what I refer to it as? You know, they say that wealth lasts three generations, so does the liberal economic order, so does governmental power. So the idea goes some, some young kid is born on a farm and he works really, really hard and he says, you know, I could do this better if I just had this tool. Makes a crazy tool, starts using it and says, I could make another one of these for my neighbor. Starts making a bunch of these crazy tools, builds a company. All of a sudden he owns a widget factory and he's super rich. Has a kid, that kid is born into wealth and he says, here's how you run the widget factory and we have a bunch of widget factories. That kid grows up super rich, helps run the company. His kid has a kid, that kid grows up wealthy, and it's a copy of a copy. The third generation doesn't know the hard work it took and the ingenuity to revolutionize the system. Didn't have the experience in the field to figure out how to innovate it. And so the wealth falls off or it becomes institutionalized. And this, this grandchild doesn't really know how to run anything. I think the same thing is true with the liberal economic order. After World War II you got some gritty mfers who were involved in the craziest stuff, literally bomb, nuke, nuking another country. And they're like, here's what we're going to do with the liberal economic order. We're going to control the world via finance and trade. Here's how we're going to do it. Then they have a second generation. They come in and say, here's how you do it. Then there's a third generation. Now we're in the fourth generation of it. And these people don't know how to even do a simple cover up.
Chloe Carmichael
Guys, Adobe Pro.
Tim Pool
What are you doing?
Tate Brown
This is Corruption 101. What are we doing?
Tim Pool
Yeah, what you do is after you, you, you process the footage on Premiere, you just load the footage back into the surveillance footage to turn it into a raw file and, and then publish it. Come on. That's, that's cover up 101. What's going on? Hire Me?
Tate Brown
It's rookie stuff. What are we doing? Yeah, come on, elites, get it together.
Tim Pool
Gary Webb. Gary Webb was found with two self inflicted gunshot wounds to the head as determined by the Sacramento county coroner. It is unusual for suicide victims to inflict multiple gunshot wounds to the head, prompting widespread curiosity. The coroner's report addressed this directly, stating that while rare, dual gunshot suicides can happen are in fact a distinct possibility. And that is true because you know, you can miss and I, I, you know, it's tragedy, but whatever. There's a documented case who shot himself twice in the head. Indeed he was. He was investigating the CIA Contra allegations.
Connor Tomlinson
You can also slip and fall ice skating in hell. It can happen.
Tim Pool
Yeah. You know, hey, I've seen Final Destination. Sometimes it happens. What happened to the man? Well, he was driving down the street when someone flicked a match with which caused a dog to bark, scaring a guy in a bike who fell over tip tipping over a street cone.
Chloe Carmichael
Next thing you know.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Tate Brown
If you're driving behind a logging truck, that's on you. Yeah.
Tim Pool
Just happens all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know, man. I, I, you know, I know what you're saying. I hear what you're saying. When Dr. Drew say you're, you're, you're bored with it or he's.
Dr. Drew
I'm tired. I'm sick of it.
Tim Pool
Because we're not getting anywhere with it. And the story now is not even Epstein.
Dr. Drew
Exactly right. We're not going to get anywhere.
Tim Pool
But, but it's, the story is not Epstein. The story is not Dan Bongino.
Dr. Drew
I was just looking up the age of Oliver North. Why doesn't he come and tell us how this, all this happens? I mean, he was in the middle of this kind of stuff and he's never really copped to it being something out of the ordinary. He always seemed kind of like I was doing my job. You know, it's like, how does this happen? What is his view on this? Why aren't there more people coming forward, helping us understand how our government works? If this is really part of it.
Tim Pool
I think there's a strong probability what is happening is exactly as intended because there is always the, there's, you know, Hanlon's raise are never attribute to malice. That which can be explained by incompetence. And boy is government incompetent. So that's, that's probably a distinct possibility. But it's, it really is somewhat hard to believe that they keep botching it this poorly when it's a rather simple Endeavor. So I'm like. When I think about how everything's dropped and the stories, I'm just thinking, what is. What is their intended goal with all of this? Because it's not hard to actually cover it up. If they really wanted to cover it up, they could have just been like, here's three sentences, Dan, for you to say on tv, and then that's it. We're not gonna talk about it again.
Chloe Carmichael
Well, I don't know if it was a figure of speech or what, but Pam Bondi, when she went on Jesse Waters, I think it was that one where she said at first that they had given her just a very teeny, tiny little file, and then she learned, she says, and this is her word, that there were truckloads of information at sdny, Southern District District, New York. Truckloads of information. So I just. I just don't get it now when they're now seeing that there's nothing. I mean, Drew, I. I hear you, though. Like, I mean, I. As. As far as what exactly happened there or whatever, you know, we. I. I don't have a burning desire to know, but I guess the question is, can we trust this administration? Especially because they held this up to us. Pam Bondi gave those reporters folders that said something like, most transparent administration ever. Epstein files. They made this into a symbol of transparency. And so for them to. Now, I think people feel jerked around by it.
Dr. Drew
Yes. You know, it's very similar to what's happening over at Maha, where you said you were going to get rid of those moderna vaccines, like, but to me, look, temporality has been left off of everyone's concern. Everything needs to happen in its time.
Chloe Carmichael
I have patience with Maha. They're doing great.
Tim Pool
What if they bring in Matt Gaetz now?
Chloe Carmichael
I would love that.
Dr. Drew
And you saw Dershowitz talk about this, too, didn't you?
Tim Pool
No. What did he say?
Dr. Drew
Oh, he said, yeah, yeah, I did see that. Yeah, I've seen the file. It's real. There's a lot of stuff there. I can't tell you.
Tim Pool
And he said, I know who's on it, but because of. Confidentially, I can't say, and they should release it.
Dr. Drew
But there was sort of a sense of urgency that there's a lot of stuff. There's.
Tim Pool
I think Dershowitz wants it released because he's accused and there's evidence tying him to Epstein stuff, and he's like, release it and show that I'm not. Come on. Yeah. Or at the bare minimum, he's saying this knowing it won't get released. And he wants to make it seem like he's innocent.
Dr. Drew
Oh, boy.
Connor Tomlinson
I think part of this.
Tim Pool
What do you do?
Connor Tomlinson
It turns the complete moral corruption of our ruling class into, like, the white noise of managed decline. Because the more. The more you hear about the mismanagement of the scandal and less about the actual scandal itself, you come to accept the fact that everyone who is ruling us being completely depraved as a feature rather than a bug. And so it just allows the system to coast along on its exhaust fumes.
Tim Pool
Let's roll tape. We got this story from the New York Times. The FBI is using polygraphs to test officials loyalty. Some senior officials who have taken the test have been asked whether they said anything negative about FBI Director Cash Patel. We're in some kind of cold civil war, or whatever you want to call it. Admit there. There exists currently two distinct factions fighting for control of our government. I don't know how else to put it with whatever's going with Pam Bondi, Dan Bongino, and the Epstein stuff to the fact that it's not just the FBI. But I asked Secretary Noem, who said in the dhs they're doing the same thing. They are trying to weed out individuals they feel are betraying this country or working against it. When you have numerous stories that our federal agencies are doing polygraphs for loyalty tests, okay, that. That shows there is distinct separations of loyalties. So who are these people? I mean, we know what Cash has said about Comey being perpetrating the largest criminal conspiracy against this country. So that the argument is there is a large amount of people in government, top to bottom, who are disloyal to the democratic process that we had in electing Donald Trump, and we have to weed them out. So we are in some kind of cold, administrative civil war. I don't know what you want to call it.
Chloe Carmichael
Well, I mean, I can't blame the Trump administration after what they went through in Trump 1.0. You almost can't be too paranoid after, like, everything that they went through. I mean, with James Comey and everything that was literally happening from the inside, that was. I mean, the whole thing, even when he was like, oh, they're spying on my campaign, and nobody believed him. And it's like the whole fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me thing. I think he just. He legitimately probably feels like he can't be too paranoid right now. And everyone who's attached to him and loyal to him, I imagine, might feel.
Dr. Drew
The same I don't think we're just coming to understand how much the deep state, the bureaucratic state, is ossified and believes that they're in control of the government. I've heard two stories that were hair raising to me. One was a friend of mine, a scientist named Paul Alexander at HHS. He was at a State Department. This Trump 1.0, he's a Trinidadian guy and he was at a State Department party and they thought he was part of their whole contingency and they pulled him aside and they said, we control, we run this government. This guy at the head, he's here for four years. We are in charge, we determine what goes on here. That is disgusting to me that they are not serving the will of the people. That is anathema to the basic principles here. Then I talked to another guy, I was flying home from D.C. a couple months ago. He'd been in the DOJ, I think it was during the Bush administration. He said, oh yeah, it was happening then too. And we would just hire our own people alongside of the bureaucracy that was there in order to get stuff done. And HHS can't really do that because it's so complicated and all the research organizations. But this has been happening for a long time. Look, the Jacobins thought that they were sort of developing freedom and shaking free of oligarchy. They just took it's Louis XIV bureaucracy and ran it themselves. But it still was a bureaucratic state. And that's the problem right now.
Tim Pool
Well, they basically just, we were like, you know, all that authoritarianism, can we hyper concentrate it into a speedrun guillotine session?
Connor Tomlinson
That makes perfect sense though because they're not taking problem with authoritarianism as a procedure. When they shriek about fascism, they're complaining that you don't agree with their underlying philosophy of egalitarianism. They are fine with amassing power if they, they think they're doing it on behalf of equality. And so this is why they can always say, well, we're actually the real democrats, even though we're taking non democratic action because we presume literally everyone is a blank slate. We're all the same underneath.
Dr. Drew
Social ills are always done in the name of good, always. Whether it's Mao or Lenin or, you name it, Hitler, always in the name of good, always. That's how bad is done in society on the social level.
Tate Brown
But I mean, you can tell the left's reaction to Trump 2.0 is so much different than 1.0, because 1.0 they would like harp on about principles and this, that and the other 2.0, they're just like, this is so evil. And then they just launch a bunch of like BS court cases to try and stifle and gum up the system versus yeah, like throwback to 1.0. And you had. They're using heavy mechanism. They're like, yeah, what's all about principles. And like Trump isn't principled. He doesn't stand this time around. They're just like, he's so evil. Like they're clearly feel defeated and that's all they can do is just be.
Dr. Drew
Like, oh, he's so evil, what do we do?
Tate Brown
And they're just trying to go up the system like I said.
Tim Pool
So, man, it's like there's always something in it. Trump wins. We've got this. The ICE raids are happening, there's good stuff happening, but there's gotta be some weird gum in the works, some weird thing. Maybe the reality, you know, when I was interviewing Sebastian Gorka, he said the Deep State is still here. And I said, have we won? And he said, no.
Connor Tomlinson
But even if you sack them, this is what the conversation should have been slightly before. Like, even if Trump roots out all of these people, even if he throws like some of them in prison for spying on his campaign or covering up the Epstein files or whatever, you've still got thousands of state bureaucrats that you are going to put out of a job. They cannot do anything else. They've never made anything else in their lives. They live and breathe this ideology. What do you think they're gonna quietly into this good night? No, they're gonna form some sort of like parallel system that's gonna constantly try and a well funded parallel system that's gonna constantly try and undermine his elected mandate at every turn. And so there's two things I wanna say on this. First of all, I don't know how effective polygraphs will be because pretty much all of our opponents are total psychos and so they're not really amenable this sort of thing. Second of all, did you see the photo from the State Department?
Tim Pool
Which ones?
Connor Tomlinson
They've sacked a load of people and they've been putting up posters saying that if you're still left behind, remember your mission is to fight fascism, not to again serve the American people. No, it's to create an ideological permanent government that defends against people noticing differences between cultures.
Tim Pool
Where can I, where can I find that?
Connor Tomlinson
I'll send it to search. I've got it bookmarked.
Chloe Carmichael
That's a good point about the Polygraphs, though, like, the worst liars are actually probably the ones that would pass them. I mean, they. The polygraphs are not even admissible in court, are they, Drew?
Dr. Drew
I'm just thinking. Your asylum is granted. You're quoting American poets now. Good. I've never seen a Brit do that.
Connor Tomlinson
Hey, I'm a fan of Wendell Berry, so I like the phrase strip mining. That's fantastic. I think asylum may well be necessary eventually, considering the only thing that keeping my country's hope alive is actually the American State Department coming over and reminding us that we invented things. Things like the liberty to speak freely in the first place, because we have been persecuting our population and calling them far right and locking people up for praying outside abortion clinics. Meanwhile, we're just letting jihadists roam free in the streets. And the only thing that's stopping the government even going full force on that is the State Department going, guys, remember, you are still in NATO. Like, we can clip your wings at any time.
Tate Brown
Yeah. We saw Amy Coney Barrett over and over again. She appeals to hundreds of years of English law and her. In her writings. And it's like, I think Americans at this point might have a better grasp on the English history than the English.
Tim Pool
Look at this, colleagues. If you remain, resist fascism. Remember the oath you swore to uphold. We have a death cult in our government. Wow. And. And they are actively.
Chloe Carmichael
Vacation.
Tim Pool
They are actively trying to. To subvert the will of the American voter.
Dr. Drew
Yeah.
Tim Pool
I mean, Joe Biden won, and Republicans grumbled and got mad, and many of them claimed the election was stolen. Then, during Biden's administration, they sought to imprison Trump, his lawyers. The right has never responded in kind. The kind of force used by the left. Not on the streets, not in government, not even when they have power now. And that's a terrifying prospect.
Chloe Carmichael
What's really terrifying is, I think, Trump derangement Syndrome. I'm a clinical psychologist, so I have to say that obviously this is not. I understand it's not in the dsm, but I secretly think it should be.
Dr. Drew
It's well characterized. It's well characterized.
Chloe Carmichael
Yeah. I mean, it's so diluted. And then again, the projective identification for anyone that doesn't know is where you have what's going on with you, but you pretend or you believe even that you see it in other people. And so I think what is so terrifying about it is that I think that there's such a huge proportion of the country that that doesn't just simply disagree with Trump, but that literally thinks he's an authoritarian and a fascist. And I've said to some of these people, I've tried to have rational conversations. I'm like, well, if he was an authoritarian, why during COVID would he have insisted on giving all of the decisions to each individual states? That would have been a perfect opportunity, right, for him to do a mass power grab. I try, but I never can get through. And I've talked to really intelligent people about this who ultimately shrug their shoulders and they say, I don't know, Chloe, I just think he's an authoritarian fascist and I just can't get anywhere with it.
Dr. Drew
People just self diagnose when they say shit like that. They say you're a narcissist. That's it. Narcissists trigger other narcissists.
Tim Pool
Well, we were talking a great deal about this this morning. The mass formation psychosis that is taking over this country and your country. And I don't know if there's a functional solution to dealing with millions of people who live in. Let's just do this for the sake of argument. They believe the world is flat. I mean that figuratively there is a majority that we reasonably discern the earth is round. The average person who does assumes it to be true based on the majority of society's views on this. The scientific studies you can read, but they tend to be rational about it. Like you can talk to a regular person and say, you know, fair point, I never checked, but I think it probably makes sense based on the horizon and the things I've read. The flat earth people are like, I saw a bunch of videos online. We think the earth is flat and that there's a giant ice wall. And these things make no sense. They're made up things on the Internet. Turn that into politics. How do you deal with millions of people voting? Imagine if people were voting to tip the earth. They're like, we're gonna tip the earth over. And it's just like, what are you talking about? You can't do that. But this is the world they live in. What do we do with federal law enforcement that think the earth is flat?
Dr. Drew
This is what the founding fathers were so concerned about, right? That's why they limited it originally to landowners. And then that's why they came up with the idea of public education. They were really concerned with who should have, who should be a participant in a democratic process. And we decided after Andrew Jackson that as much democracy as possible was the answer. And I think most of us value that. But education, Tim, is a critical ingredient in that. If you're not. Don't have an educated public, it's gonna be a free for all. Although you have an educated public, it's not going so well over there either. I'm not sure that's the entire answer.
Connor Tomlinson
We don't. Well, what happens when you replace the public with a completely different population from halfway around the world who are not all that intelligent and often marry their cousins and vote along ethnic and religious lines? Well, you get London, Leicester, Birmingham, Bradford, etc. I think that's also partially a problem over here because whether illegal or legal, you have a hell of a lot of people that just rely on government handouts from the productive, entrepreneurially spirited American public. And that just means the Democrats can just buy off their votes and have them as a clientele class.
Tim Pool
But Connor, I know you're having problems in London, but have you ever just considered the upside that you've got curry and falafel?
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah. Well, it turns out that actually the biggest curry producer in the UK is Wetherspoon's Pubs. So I don't think that the British are in a deep and yearning desire for authentic Indian street food mixed by handle foot. I think that we have the recipe and that we don't need to import a million Indians in four years.
Tim Pool
Which curry is awesome.
Connor Tomlinson
It's not great.
Tim Pool
I love it.
Connor Tomlinson
I would rather have civilization. That would be.
Tim Pool
Oh, I'm not talking about mixing with hand or foot. I'm saying going to a civilized restaurant to sit down for a nice, you know, even the coconut curry or something.
Tate Brown
Feet's what gives it a little funk.
Connor Tomlinson
That's what, that's what you want.
Chloe Carmichael
Well, you know though you are, you're raising an interesting point about, about the religion issue and the culture issue because as you said as well, Drew, like with the founding fathers and what they were thinking about, about who should be voting and one of the things that they were very clear about is that we would only survive as a republic with freedom if we actually had religion. Right. Like they actually.
Connor Tomlinson
Christianity specifically.
Chloe Carmichael
Yeah, well, see, I don't think. I don't know if they specified. I wish I did. I've been reading about this more lately.
Connor Tomlinson
There were no Muslim founding fathers.
Chloe Carmichael
Right. And so I think though, it's become almost like a taboo to discuss. But the Christian religion does, for example, when it comes to the concept of justice, that the Judeo Christian really, I mean, it's in both the Old Testament that when you look at justice, when you look at court systems according to a Judeo Christian system, you may not favor or disfavor someone because they are rich or because they are poor. And men and women in the New Testament were uniquely placed, placed on an equal level when it comes to the way that they should be treated. And that is a foundation. Again, when we think about our democracy and about justice here versus, quote, social justice, or as you alluded to, bringing in a culture where actually the status, the sex, the standing of a person does matter in the way that justice is adjudicated to that person. Or Sharia law, for example, has a totally different approach to justice.
Connor Tomlinson
We have about 90 Sharia courts operating in the UK.
Chloe Carmichael
I mean, that's terrifying.
Tim Pool
Let's jump to this story from the Telegraph. Trump to be denied address to Parliament on state visit. US President will not be given the honor enjoyed by Barack Obama or Emmanuel Macron. Telegraph understands. I think the US should bring regime change to the uk.
Connor Tomlinson
I agree. We'll welcome you as liberators.
Tim Pool
Let's go.
Connor Tomlinson
Actually.
Tim Pool
All right.
Connor Tomlinson
We don't have a single good political party in the UK right now. Jenny, I'm not joking, I'm not overstating.
Tim Pool
You would be able to do nothing if we did invade?
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah, yeah, pretty much. I mean, our army is the lowest number since the Napoleonic Wars. I think we only have a couple of thousand active troops.
Tim Pool
Trump, if you're listening, this is going to be easy.
Connor Tomlinson
I just.
Tate Brown
Are we ready for an entirely Muslim state in our country yet?
Tim Pool
First year we state in England, I.
Dr. Drew
Think it's sort of shifting politically.
Connor Tomlinson
Shifting in what sense? So, so we, we. So in 2024, we had the loss of election. Labor got in on what Rupert Low calls a land slip. So they got a landslide majority, but with fewer votes than Jeremy Corbyn lost by in 2019. They are the most unpopular government on record. They're brand new. Low, it turns out, the space beneath the bottom of the barrel. And that's where Keir Starmer's sitting right now. The reason he's probably doing this, by the way, so there's a parliamentary recess in the middle of September. That's when he's inviting Trump. It's because he and all of his members of his Cabinet have slated Trump relentlessly. So David Lammy, who is the thickest man in Britain, who's our Foreign secretary, once wrote an article in Time magazine when Trump was first president, calling him a member of the kkk, a neo Nazi, a misogynist. And now you're expecting him to meet with the Trump administration, have a cordial conversation, and they're Worried that half of the labor government is going to walk out in protest if Trump does address parliaments. That's why they're not having it. So the labourer in power, they're currently kowtowing to the Muslim lobby because they've traditionally relied on the Muslim vote. And about 5 of their cabinet members, 3, 3 to 5, are probably going to lose their seat in the next election because they only won by a couple of hundred votes because Muslim independent candidates ran on a purely pro Palestine ticket in that area and almost won. There were four Muslim pro Palestine MPs elected at the last election. The former leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, is about to start a new party with them and take Labour MPs along with them. So they're hemorrhaging votes to their left as far as the right in Britain, as far as it exists. The last Conservative government just delivered net 1 million immigration every year. You guys have that for the whole of your country. We're the size of New York State, so we have the same level of legal migration as you guys did under a Conservative government. They got thrown out with their worst record in 100 years and they've instead appointed Kemi Badenochta lead their party rather than Robert Jenrick. Robert Jenrick resigned from the previous government over their immigration record. So he's quite principled. Kemi Badenok is. Well, she was born from Nigerian parents using health tourism, which is how she got her citizenship. Lived in Nigeria then America. Identifies as a first generation immigrant, has basically been propped up by the party for her entire career. And in her maiden speech, she wanted to remove the caps on student and working migration. She also identifies not as British, but as Yoruba and. And calls other Nigerians her ethnic enemies. Brilliant, patriotic leadership. Then you have reform. Reform atopping the polls. That's Nigel Farage's party. Nigel Farage, about two days ago gave an interview saying, I am to the left of the country on immigration. Nigel Farage. Yeah, I know. Most Americans don't know this. Nigel Farage has spent the last year betraying his base entirely betraying them. He has said, mass deportations are an impossibility. We're not going to do them. Even after Trump won on them, he turned around and said, there are clips of this. You'll be able to get. You have Winston Marshall on a few weeks ago on Winston Marshall's podcast, he said, if politically we alienate Islam by 2050, we will lose.
Tim Pool
I saw that. Yeah.
Connor Tomlinson
Sorry. Nigel, what parts of Islamic theology do you want to incorporate into your party platform. What is winning? Now it turns out that his company is a, his party is a company. He's got two directors. One is Nigel Farage, one is his former party chairman called Zia Yousef. Zia Yousef gave probably about £200,000 in political donations when the party was about to win the election. He's been Nigel's vizier ever since. He's kind of like Jafar from Aladdin. He left the party, he insulted the party. Two days later he was brought back in as the head of UK Doge. And he is now personally appointing loads of Muslim candidates to this party which is topping the polls because it's meant to be the anti immigration party. So we genuinely have nobody to vote for. The only thing that we have, a bit of hope on the horizon. Reform kicked out two of its MPs fairly recently. One over some anodyne business thing. The other was Rupert Lowe. Rupert Lowe was elected last year. He's basically our Trump. This is my thesis. 67 year old granddad, spotless record, independently wealthy, donates his salary to charity every month and has just been dubbed by a communist organization called Hope Not Hate. The most extreme right wing MP in parliament. And bloody hell is he. He's now an independent MP and he's launched his own movement to try and propose policies. The problem is he's got no party, so he's got absolutely no likelihood at the moment of, of being the next Prime Minister. So we, we're, we're not even where you guys were in 2015. We are like at least 10 to 15 years behind the discourse and we don't have 10 to 15 years to fix this.
Dr. Drew
What's going on with speech, free speech.
Connor Tomlinson
12,000 people a year are arrested.
Dr. Drew
Because that's your antidote.
Connor Tomlinson
Kind of. But there's, well, there's, it is an antidote, but there's no talking your way out of the demographic situation. There's no persuading millions of people who live cheek by jowl in ethnic enclaves with the host population.
Chloe Carmichael
What does cheek by jowl mean?
Connor Tomlinson
Right. Right next to each other. Okay, so they live, they live entirely in their own communities. They don't speak English. We're one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Right. London is, you know, England overall is about 70 million people. Officially, we think about 80 million. We've got 2 to 3 million illegal immigrants on the books that we just don't know where they are. But we've got Muslim enclaves in our, in our country from where the Grooming gang scandal, which I'm sure you've all heard about, came from. They cover for each other. They knew it was going on. The head of the Ramadan foundation in 2016 said the reason Pakistanis don't speak up about this and you know, they'll march for Gaza, but they won't march to clear their names for grooming gangs is because they don't want to be seen as, quote, siding with the white enemy. There is no speaking those people round. It is really just a situation of having millions of people in our country that do not want to abide by our way of life that have hate us and you're just not going to persuade them.
Tim Pool
I also think your king hates you.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah, he does. Yeah.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Connor Tomlinson
King Charles helped co found the World Economic Forum. He was recently hosting Ramadan events on royal grounds and he decided to do two camera videos saying that he was. He was saying Quran verses. For some reason, he's obsessed with fostering interfaith dialogue.
Tim Pool
He also did give back Canada to the On a Shebag and Algonquin people.
Connor Tomlinson
Oh, and he also helped hand over Hong Kong to the Chinese in 1997.
Tim Pool
That he literally did. He did a land acknowledgment for the Anishibeg and Algonquin in Canada as the King of Canada, arguing that they've never ceded this land. Implying that he doesn't like that statement from him is recognizing I am illegitimate here. Right? Exactly. That it's an illegitimate claim to the land.
Connor Tomlinson
Also, Emmanuel Macron came over about two days ago and gave a speech to Parliament. So we let that treacherous frog address it, but not President Trump. And the King then gave a speech at a banquet where Macron and and Starmer were present. And he also said, oh, we need to tackle the challenge of irregular migration. They're euphemizing it as irregular, not illegal, when irregular. We've had 20,000 men so far this year, 180 odd thousand total since 2018 break into our country via boat from France. We have a literal moat surrounding our country. There should not be a single illegal immigrant coming in, but we still let them come in. The majority are Afghans and Eritreans who commit sex offenses at 20 times the rate of a British national. Are, I have heard from, let's say, credible intelligence tip offs. They're smuggling weapons in and they're recruiting from jihadist camps in Afghanistan. We've already caught multiple Iranian nationals who are spying on behalf of Tehran that came in through this route. So we are just battery farming jihadists at the public expense cost us 14 billion pounds a year to house them in four star hotels of private healthcare.
Tim Pool
Oh, wow.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So actually, Tim, next time I go, I'm just going to lie and claim a meritorious.
Connor Tomlinson
Just land in France, hop on a rubber duck, come over and I'll be paying for your bloody hotel.
Dr. Drew
We just call that California.
Tim Pool
Yeah, yeah.
Chloe Carmichael
Or New York.
Tate Brown
What does it say about, like, your system, and by large like European, American, Australian systems where we consistently keep voting, less immigration, less immigration, less immigration. And we get the opposite every single.
Connor Tomlinson
Time since 1974, in every election and referendum we voted for less migration.
Tim Pool
I don't know, but Donald Trump, he said in the boys, the boys are coming in and people are getting pissed.
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Tim Pool
He just raided a bunch of pot farms and the left is coming out. I love this. ICE raided marijuana farms and found child slave labor. And the left said they're, they're kidnapping children from produce farms. It's like, wow.
Connor Tomlinson
How will we possibly drug ourselves to accept living in California if children aren't harvesting marijuana crops?
Tim Pool
I don't know. I think we should occupy California. Like, I think Trump, the federal government should go and just put a rigid federal authority over. I mean it. Listen, this is not unconstitutional. Trump has the authority to invoke the Insurrection act and go into California and say the laws are not being followed. There are children slaves on these farms. Just with that information alone, Trump can say, he can, he can go light, he can say, gavin Newsom, I am telling you right now, if you do not give me a report, you don't have to report to me. But I'm saying if the federal government does not get an assessment of the law enforcement against child slave labor on the farms in your state, the feds, we will invoke the Insurrection act and we will bring militarized control over your state for that reason.
Connor Tomlinson
Could you do that after you liberate London, please. So you'll be very interested in this. For the last three or so months at least, the main topic that's dominated the UK discourse, Get ready to drink chat. Civil war now. We don't talk like this in our country. It's not a thing that we've really spoken about since, you know, the 17th century. The Brits are quite shy and polite and reserved. But now you've got former government advisor Dominic Cummings, who'd be a fantastic guest on the culture war, by the way, coming forward and saying, yeah, I was doing riot briefings in 2020. You cannot underestimate the level of delusion these politicians have and their urge to project to the public, like they want to still pretend they're in control. And all they seem to be doing is clamping down on people, noticing the problem, rather than stopping the immigration and multicultural appeasement policies that have led to this problem. And there's an academic called David Betts who works at King's College London, and he's studied war literature for a very long time. He wrote two very good pieces of Military Strategy magazine on this. And he's become an overnight celebrity because all he said was, I've just been studying the fact that, well, in the next three to five years, by all available metrics, you've got divisive identity politics, you've got the state clamping down on the native population, saying that they've become aware of the downgrading in status and so they can't notice this on social media. They're still importing jihadists. And it's likely we're going to get vigilante attacks on critical infrastructure. So within three to five years, you're probably going to have a civil war kick off and you're going to lose 20,000 lives a year. And people are going, well, why are you saying this now? Why aren't you telling the government? He went, I've been telling the government for 10 years. The reason I've gone in front of cameras is because they aren't listening.
Tim Pool
Maybe they want it.
Connor Tomlinson
Possibly. I wouldn't. I would. Okay, so there might be two groups that want it, or there might be one group that wants it, one group that doesn't. I genuinely think that we are run by, yes, demented ideological socialists, but also total crippling midwits. There's an interview with Keir Starmer where he says, I don't have a favorite book and I don't dream. I don't think the man is. He says he doesn't dream. It's in the Guardian. Genuinely, there's. Look up. Keir Starmer doesn't dream. And it wasn't read either.
Dr. Drew
It's even worse.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah, well, quite. He's also denounced a speech that he gave fairly recently where he said, britain's becoming an island of strangers. It's the only time he was remotely sensible. And he said, oh, I didn't read what was written on the cue cards. For me, he's like, he's just Ron Burgundy running our country. But there is a group that definitely wants some kind of conflict. And, wow, he doesn't dream. He's. He probably has an IQ of about 100.
Tim Pool
Should. Should we have, like. You've got to. If you want to be president. They do that thing where they ask you to look on the chart of what an apple looks like in your mind.
Connor Tomlinson
Yes.
Tim Pool
And then you've got to. If you. If you select anything below, like, at least five or four, it's just like. I'm sorry, you're in.
Connor Tomlinson
Yes.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Tate Brown
I mean, it's like the Civil War talk. It's not surprising because it's like if you have an entire. I mean, Carl Benjamin said over and over again, like, the Englishman is actually maybe possibly even more conservative than the median American. And it's like, if you have a huge contingent of the population is very angry and they don't have a population that represents them or, sorry, a party that represents them, like, what do you think is going to happen?
Tim Pool
So this one just. You bring them in and say, congratulations, you. You want to file to run for office. Tell me, when you visualize an apple, which number do you see? And Keir Starmer goes, 5. It's like, okay, well, you are ineligible. And we could be nice and say one through four is okay, but five isn't.
Tate Brown
I think you could pass the breakfast.
Tim Pool
I suppose people get upset, though, because they're like. What is it called? It's Aphantasia. Is that what it is when you can't visualize something in your mind? Well, I don't know, man.
Connor Tomlinson
He literally wrote the textbook on how to apply human rights law that was passed on Tony Blair to block deportations. He wants. I think it was in 1988. He told a socialist newspaper that all immigration law is underwritten by racism. And then we wonder why we're just importing millions of dependent subordinates.
Tim Pool
What if there are literal demons? You know, because we talk about mass formation, psychosis. I'm somewhat being facetious, but sometimes I look at the zombification of people. Like, we were talking with Naomi Best earlier, and she's the story of being struggle sessioned and people saying, you're making us unsafe. And I'm like, are those demons? Like, are these zombies? Are these people conscious reasoning individuals?
Connor Tomlinson
There was a book written by one of the Vatican's lead exorcists where he says that people are primed for demonic possession when they're in a state of faithlessness and chronic vice. And so if you're in a civilization that is godless, addicted to drugs, constantly continuing slop on television, and there's nothing to believe in but ideological politics, well, I might think they might be Empty vessels. You might be able to convince me that your average NPC and to you.
Dr. Drew
To protest television and left this out of it.
Connor Tomlinson
Well, yeah, yeah, this is quite the black mirror. But, yeah, but the only. The only. So I am very tech skeptic. The only beneficial thing about this though is that this is what's turning a hell of a lot of young men right wing, especially video content, because you cannot deny the downsides of diversity if you are seeing it popular put in front of you all the time. And this is why our government is obsessed with what Douglas Murray's calls second order concerns. They're obsessed with controlling speech online about the thing rather than addressing the actual thing itself. So there's a, there's a new Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion. It's meant to be like an independent group. It's a state front.
Tim Pool
Right, well, I'll finish.
Connor Tomlinson
Finish. They've got there and they're meant to be investigating the causes of civil conflict, riots and upset about immigration. And what's their preformed conclusion? Well, there's too much Islamophobia online, so we've got to censor it.
Tim Pool
Second. What do you call it? Second order.
Connor Tomlinson
Second order effects.
Tim Pool
But that makes sense from the analogy that I use. I say that we are chickens in a chicken coop. And it's meant to be somewhat silly, but the general idea is, I got a chicken coop. I don't care what they do every day, as long as they make eggs. If at any point there is some kind of tumult, I'm going to say, stop the tumult. I want the eggs. I don't care why they're fighting, I want them to stop fighting. So in this regard, they're saying, I don't care what their problems are, I want them not to know about it. So the, the famous quote from Harriet Tubman, I've freed many slaves, I would have freed many more if only they knew they were slaves. It's an interesting quote, but when you expand what it means psychologically, it's that if people can't conceptualize of something, it doesn't exist to them. Perception is reality. So if they're saying, look, we've got a bunch of young men that are seeing this problem, is there a way by which we can reduce their ability to communicate to each other so they can't have an organized front, then the problem is solved. To the, to the farmer, your government with its chickens, its subjects, it doesn't care why they're mad. Just, you know, what we do. This is a really great example, actually. The chickens fight and they'll have their feathers pulled out and it causes them stress. And when they're stressed, they don't lay. So you know what we do? We put blinders on their faces and then they walk around and they can't see anything and they're going like this half the time and they can't peck each other. We have not solved the reason for the fighting. We've just removed the information from them and that's exactly what they're doing.
Connor Tomlinson
We have an entire department dedicated to this in the Home Office, by the way. It's called Riku Ricu. I call it the don't look back in anger department.
Tim Pool
So in.
Connor Tomlinson
I'm not joking about that. Whenever there's a terrorist attack in the uk, the government controls the front page of newspapers. They tell them what to run to ensure that the public do not blame Muslims for it.
Chloe Carmichael
But to your point, that's exactly why I think the phones are amazing. I think we got into this point, you know, Tim, to your point, like zombies, we kind of like got into this zombie sleepwalking space during say like the 90s, the early 2000s. And it's not like you couldn't say your own thoughts, but when basically there was one narrative being put out on all of the networks and there was no independent media, no way to just get on your live stream and say things. Then we developed this groupthink. We were talking about this earlier. One of the big ingredients of groupthink is self censorship and the illusion of unanimity. And the more that you believe that you're the only one who thinks something, the less likely you are to speak up and say something different. And then the more that you conform your behavior to fit into what you think is the unanimity that you live in, the more you start to mentally conform to that as well. And so you're absolutely right. I think that, you know, the independent media is making the especially establishment extremely uncomfortable. I think it's a huge threat in a really good way. And Tim, just one more thing I want to say to your point about demons. I know you're kind of like kidding.
Dr. Drew
About that, but I'm not sure he is.
Chloe Carmichael
It's an interesting little thing. You might. I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but in the Bible, are you familiar with I am Legion, for we are many?
Tim Pool
Remind me.
Chloe Carmichael
Yeah. So there's this man, and he's supposed to be like the town crazy man. And I'm going to get the story? Probably not exactly right, so feel free to correct me in the chat. But basically Jesus comes to him and says, basically like, what's going on with you? And the man says, I am legion for we are many. And a lot of people point at that and say, okay, that's like some weird pronoun stuff there, right? Like when people start getting confused about we me, they referring to themselves in these ways. And so then Jesus basically says, demons leave this man and go into those pigs, and then the pigs run off the edge of the cliff and die, and the man is fine. So that's the I am legion for we are many story.
Tim Pool
I believe in God, and I don't know beyond that what I believe, but I certainly believe I have witnessed things that I don't believe are adequately explained by modern science, which I don't immediately take to mean as magic. I just take it to mean something I don't yet understand or can explain. And I think when people say things like I don't believe in demons, that's hokey pokey nonsense. My response is, could there be other dimensions? Could there be a different way to explain the concept of demons in a more secular and scientific way? In which case the argument is we have simply not yet been able to dis. Discover or discern what kind of entities and forces exist out there.
Chloe Carmichael
Forms of energy.
Tim Pool
Forms of energy, whatever it might be. And the idea that humans have discovered everything is silly. The, the, the, the, the discovery of the charged electromagnetic spectrum rewrote how we saw reality. And then we're like, holy crap, discovery of air, you know, thousands of years ago. So I have witnessed things recently that I would describe as paranormal. But when I say paranormal, I mean we don't just have a means of explaining it, but certainly humans have experienced enough of this stuff and it's been written about that while some of it certainly is made up stupid hokey bs, there are legitimate claims and cases of honest, rational human beings who have experienced something that isn't reasonably explained by what we know in science. Now you can also take a look at the stories of pilots who say there's one recent story where a guy said he was flying a plane and an orb floated to the left of his plane and seemed to lock to the plane so that when he banked left, it moved perfectly with the plane. There's tons of stories of rational pilots saying, not only did I see it, radar picked it up, and that guy saw it too. So when I say things like demons possession, mind control, I think there is A strong possibility that these things actually exist. And I try to rationally explain how it is. The first time I experienced the mass formation psychosis, I had worked at Vice, made a bunch of friends, we went around traveling the world covering the news. We would then come back and produce a video and publish it. A couple years after that, probably about two years after leaving Vice, I said, I am going to go to Sweden. And I got messages from people from Vice saying, don't do it. People I'd gone to reports and field reporting with. And I said, I said, why not? I'm doing literally what I've always done. And they said, because Trump is wrong, so don't go, oh. And I said, I agree, Trump is wrong and I'm going to go prove him wrong. And they said, no, it's not worth it because you're going to prove him right. And I was like, wait, wait, dude. I was like, you and I used to go and cover these things. I'm doing the exact same thing. And they were like, yeah, but Trump is bad and it's white supremacy, so you can't do it. I got like four or five messages from Vice reporters saying, do not go give the money to a, to a, a Muslim refugee, like set resettlement thing. A couple people said that, and I was just like, I don't know what you guys are talking about. Then they started calling me a white supremacist. And I'm like, how did in two years, people that had an entire world view nearly identical to mine turn into whatever the zombie is and contagion within two years, their entire worldview rewritten? Blew my mind. Yeah.
Tate Brown
I mean, I think you see the demonic, demonic hold firsthand when you watch these pro abortion activists celebrate having multiple abortions. You can't explain that without demonic intervention. I mean, this is a country that's sacrificed 60 million unborn children onto the altar of the system. Like, how do you explain that without some sort of demonic whole demonic possession, whatever that demonic is, is maybe subjective.
Connor Tomlinson
But I think Trump has uniquely provoked this because nobody before him triggered the underlying philosophy that actually united both sides of the political spectrum, which again is very much the belief in the blank slate that all human beings infinitely fungible like this is. Do you remember when George W. Bush, not long after 9 11, gave a speech and he said, oh, I don't understand why they hate us. Islam is a religion of peace. It's like, you idiot, you still think that everyone fundamentally wants the same thing. Recognizing differences is anathema to the ruling political order. And so when Trump gets up and goes, yeah, sorry, no, not all illegal immigrants are good people just wanting a better life. Some of them are rapists and criminals. Yeah. Some Muslims are terrorists. And we're just, Sorry, we're just going to have to trade off and just not do that.
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Connor Tomlinson
Turns out that importing loads of Somalians to Sweden recreates Mogadishu. Who knew that just upsets their liberal sensibilities. And so they out themselves to you.
Tate Brown
I mean, you have people that have this is a generations long project, this neoliberal world order, and you have a guy coming along that promises to destroy it. Like your response would be supernatural to seeing that happen.
Connor Tomlinson
It turns out the ultimate weakness of the liberal world order was just noticing patterns.
Tate Brown
Yeah, go figure, right?
Chloe Carmichael
Well, it is interesting too that I feel like Christian Christianity is probably alongside Judaism is a religion that it's like you have free license in our society sometimes to like to pick on it. Right. Like we see comedians or, you know, newspapers or whatever, just talk about Christians and often Jews in such a disparaging way. And I'm like, I dare you to say that about Muhammad. I dare you to say that about Islam.
Connor Tomlinson
They're afraid about threats of their life. I will say though, so. And I don't really have any antagonism against Jewish people. I've got Jewish friends. Shock you. I'm in politics. It happens. It's not cost free to criticize Judaism. Of course there is absolutely. I could only describe it as like third world brained juice burging. That goes out a hell of a lot, especially after October 7th. A lot of this stuff is just amplified by demented Pakistani bot accounts and things like that. But it is very telling. I will say that the Trump administration has turned around and said we're going to denaturalize certain citizens that are not compatible with our country. And one of the criteria was anti Semitism. Now, it's not necessarily just like hating America is not enough. It is that you specifically hate American Jews. Now, again, think antisemitism shouldn't be done fair. It shows that like anti Semitism still is a powerful taboo post war, for understandable reasons, in a way that picking on Christianity does not publicly penalize you, even though the GOP itself is a Christian party.
Dr. Drew
Yeah, we naturalize.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah. They said that they will remove the citizenship from certain people. Yeah.
Dr. Drew
Is there any cases of that? Has anybody been denaturalized in the U.S. yeah, there.
Tim Pool
Yeah, one so far there's probably been many, but there has been one recently. It was someone from the UK who is a child pornographer.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And I was talking to Carl Benjamin and he goes, keep him. That's what he said. And I said, no, no, no, this one's yours. Take them back.
Chloe Carmichael
They're also saying that they'll be doing this to people that have been proven to have lied on their citizenship application, which is. Which I think is perfectly valid. If you lied on your citizenship application and you wouldn't have been accepted and then that is discovered, I think it should invalidate your citizenship. I don't think there should be anything controversial about that. Except, I guess, apparently, I think there's some. I don't know if this is. I'm not sure how much of a case there is for this, but apparently this is being discussed regarding Mamdani.
Connor Tomlinson
Yes, I heard this.
Chloe Carmichael
So, yeah, I mean, I know he lied, I guess, in certain situations.
Connor Tomlinson
Well, apparently the accusation was that before he'd become a fully naturalized citizen, he had praised Hamas, and obviously they're a prescribed terrorist group.
Chloe Carmichael
And then he denied having had any affiliations with any, you know, such groups or, you know, something. I don't know all of the details, but he's one prominent case, I guess, where that type of denaturalization could potentially come into play.
Dr. Drew
I'm thinking about the way that Christianity has become the brunt of jokes and the way it's so common. And my instinct is, as a time traveler now, I'm old enough that I've been through many, many incarnations of history, they did themselves no favor by starting to mandate or proselytize in terms of how people should be living their lives. They were the ones that did that first. Now the left's doing it. There was conservative religious right that was perceived at least as judging other people and telling them how they should be living.
Chloe Carmichael
That's true.
Dr. Drew
Americans hate that. And now the other side is doing it.
Tate Brown
Don't you think that the conservative Christian right ended up being right about everything?
Dr. Drew
I'm not judging right or wrong. It's just that in terms of telling people, intruding, feeling intrusively like trying. It's. Again, this we talked about earlier today, this. This instinct to have a totalitarian sort of intrusion into people's lives. We should be more libertarian.
Connor Tomlinson
No, but on the other hand, what.
Chloe Carmichael
I thought you were also going to say is that the Christians didn't do themselves any favors because they didn't ever stand up for their faith. On the other hand, they also were extremely tolerant of people to make fun of Christians a lot of people said like, well, I'm too, you know, cool for that. It's not intellectual, whatever. So I hear you. I think in a weird way both things are true. Like there was a side of Christian culture that was dominant and judgmental and exclusionary. And then there maybe is like a reaction to that. There became a large swath of Christianity that became almost self loathing.
Dr. Drew
And we are both clear that people need a spiritual life and need a concept of something bigger than themselves and really are missing out on faith in terms of their mental health. You brought that up earlier and so we are that. But when it aligns politically, it's the political alignment that I think was the problem.
Connor Tomlinson
I don't think it's necessarily the political alignment. I think that the consequences of the mainly sexual revolution they were rallying against.
Dr. Drew
Were not sexual revolution.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah, they were not manifestly bad enough to vindicate the Christian Christian. So okay, you did not need a strong Christian conservative revivalist movement as you saw in the 90s, before the 60s. It's only in the period between the 60s and the 90s when all sexual norms were destroyed, abortion is liberalized, hookup culture becomes ubiquitous and vice is celebrated that suddenly the Christian conservatives have political backlash. And back then it looked fuddy duddy and out of date because of the delivery mechanism. Now my generation's hungering for it, but because very few families are being formed, transsexualism is in the schools and millions of babies are being killed.
Dr. Drew
So I was part of that pushback. And we did not intend this. Yeah, this is now. We were intending it all. We were more interested in sort of what's real. Like what is real about the human experience. And we felt like it was shrouded behind all kinds of ideologies then or Latin phrases. You couldn't call something an std. It was a venereal disease. Everything was all very sort of, sort of. It was taken away from the real human experience. We wanted real. That was a lot of the pushback. And we did not expect this. This is not at all what we were expecting.
Tate Brown
I mean me and him were both Gen Z. Like I think from our zoomers, I think from our perspective the big haired church ladies weren't harsh enough because I think they saw like the Kitty Dukakuses saw the guillotine hanging. And that's why they were so over the top, was because they saw what was coming.
Dr. Drew
I was there and I will tell you, God, it's complicated because it felt we were casting off the yoke of a generation and they were the last vestiges of that, that did not understand us and didn't understand the world we were living in. That was it. And to the extent that sexuality was something that we wanted freedom with, we didn't want to act in crazy ways. We wanted to not be judged for it. We did not want to be condemned for talking about it. Our music reflected. The music was crazy though. I mean, look at the music from the 70s. It's about having sex with 15 year olds. You get a lot of it.
Connor Tomlinson
More of what you tolerate. I'm afraid. So again, we were non judgmental. You were opening the door to those.
Dr. Drew
Listen, I understand. I'm happy you're craving the church lady back. I mean, I think that's a, that's a good impulse. Just be careful what you wish for. Like us, we were, we did not intend this.
Tate Brown
Well, I just think from our perspective, it's like you can't ratchet back a system to an earlier point and not expect a certain similar outcome. Like, I don't think you can freeze liberalism at a certain point and you.
Connor Tomlinson
Can'T rewind the revolution and consolidate its gains. It has to be all undone.
Tate Brown
And again, like I wasn't there. So this is me off of my reading of history. But, but to me it just, it doesn't, it doesn't seem likely that we could just like go Back to the 80s and freeze there. Because what I'm seeing now, you could see the seeds and the.
Dr. Drew
So what do you. What is your prescription? What is it?
Tate Brown
Well, I guess sexual revolution is what, What?
Connor Tomlinson
Bin off the sexual revolution. I guess in short, just scrap birth control. Scrap no fault divorce. Yeah, there should be a lot more sexual shame for weird kinks that you shouldn't be celebrating in public. And turns out actually that what you do behind closed doors does affect your personal life.
Dr. Drew
So let me tell you one of the main weaknesses in the sexual revolution that you may not be aware of. It was perpetrated by adults in the 60s and 70s with no understanding that it would have an impact on adolescents. None. When I went on the radio to talk to adolescents about their sexual behavior, what I heard from my superiors in the previous generation was why would you talk to them about STDs and AIDS? They don't need to know about that. Why would you even discuss that? There's something wrong with you. That's what I was told. I was told by my residency director I was sick and there was something wrong with me that I would discuss sexuality with this 18 year old they don't need to know this. That's really where things went off the rail was the full impact of the sexual revolution. And by the way, it was all based on biology. We had antibiotics for STDs, and. And we had birth control pills. That's what unleashed it.
Chloe Carmichael
Do you know the background of Dr. Drew? He may not know. So have you ever heard of the show Loveline?
Connor Tomlinson
I have not.
Dr. Drew
He would know. He was at Eton at the time.
Chloe Carmichael
In the 80s. I was like 12 years old listening to Dr. Drew on Loveline, like in my bedroom. And I was like. He would always be talking, as he said, about like, you know, maybe sexual things that, like, I, you know.
Dr. Drew
But I was not advocating sexual freedom. I was saying, understand the reality, the consequences of your choices. And we ended up talking a lot about childhood trauma, which was also being. We went through a pandemic of that in 80s and 90s. And it was emerging in the relationships. We were hearing about it every day.
Tim Pool
What year did it start?
Dr. Drew
84.
Tim Pool
Wow. 83.
Dr. Drew
83.
Tate Brown
What year did it end?
Dr. Drew
God, about seven years ago or so, something like that. 35 years.
Tim Pool
Really? Yeah.
Connor Tomlinson
Wow.
Dr. Drew
What would you think?
Tim Pool
Oh, I don't know. I assume somewhere in like the early thousands or something that long ago. I mean, when I was. When I was probably like 14, 15, it was Q101 every night. Oh, yeah.
Dr. Drew
Chicago, the great station.
Tim Pool
Yep. And. But it. But I largely remember it as responsible. You were advocating safety, security.
Dr. Drew
Yeah, Biological reality was my thing. And healthy choices and consequences. But we wanted a freedom to discuss it.
Tim Pool
You were telling people not to do bad things.
Dr. Drew
Yes. That's weird. Really.
Tim Pool
What?
Dr. Drew
It was the consequences of bad choices that we were listening to little cases where they'd made bad choices and I was sort of exploit. Explicating them. And we did. I never would have imagined this is where it all went. Not in a million years.
Tate Brown
Do you think there was a point where maybe you and people in line, if you took a stance on a position that you regret at this point, that it went a different direction than you expected it to?
Dr. Drew
Lots, I guess, lots of things. I mean, here we are.
Tate Brown
Yeah. I'm just like, I was born in the Bush administration, so I don't know what the world was like before everything changed. Like, I was born and I was like, I was 14 when Trump got nominated. So like, wow, this is the world that I've come into and inherit.
Dr. Drew
That's why you're a bit of an oracle. How about you?
Connor Tomlinson
Was it 1998?
Dr. Drew
Yeah. So you Guys are. You guys are oracles to me.
Tate Brown
Like I want to know and vice.
Dr. Drew
Versa because yeah, yeah, please learn from me. I'm a time travel.
Tate Brown
Well, we come with like a lot of full disc. Like my generation, we do have a lot of I guess resentfulness I suppose to like older folks because we do feel like we inherited a mess. But then when I speak to older people, they're like, no, I was there on those issues.
Dr. Drew
And so, and not only that, we inherited a mess and we were busy again, like I said, casting off a yoke of a generation that thought a lot of itself and actually had a lot to offer. We just didn't know it. We were busy canceling it all because.
Tate Brown
It does feel like from my perspective that yeah, like maybe the older generations did destroy a system that was actually pretty. Did pretty well for like human flourishment.
Connor Tomlinson
They broke a chain in, in the great links of civilization, definitely. And it feels like we have actually inherited far less cultural wisdom than our predecessors. And that's why there's a be more specific. So for example, let's talk about relationships. I think it's about a third of young men, 18 to 30 have never had one.
Dr. Drew
Yeah, it's crazy.
Connor Tomlinson
They're virgin.
Dr. Drew
This is a horrible, horrible thing.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah. And the reason it's been outsourced to things like dating apps. And I've, I've been very anti dating apps.
Dr. Drew
Pornography is really what's taken over quite.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah. There's also weirdly the Internet. There was a piece in the Atlantic quite a while ago about the Gen Z sex recession and they mapped Internet rollout and you saw the decline of teenage pregnancy with that because obviously people just staying at home and not even having real life interactions. But yeah, porn's terrible again. Another product of the sexual revolution and the treatment of consumers like well, whatever you just do and the privacy of your own bedroom is totally fine. It doesn't have societal effects. But also dating apps are particularly pernicious. And I full disclosure, after railing against dating apps, I then met my wife on one oops. However, most people don't. And this is why people are having fewer relationships. Because dating and courtship was something that the elders once did on behalf of behalf of their children. There's very little stewardship now. Instead it's just a consumer experience. Yet again, like the older generation has shirked its responsibility to help younger people couple up.
Dr. Drew
Well, we had this conversation on the way over here I've been advocating for since the early 90s to bring back dating, but come up with a New word for it. Because dating was a. You could not even use that word without being just like, get out of here. Courtship. Forget that word. That was not even a possibility. And when I started talking about it, the Independent Women's Forum had put out a study on college women. They were all miserable. Well, they said. Then they went back and said why. They perceived they had four options. Socially random hookup, friends with benefits, which, as someone yelled out to me at a college event, I said, that looks good on paper, but it doesn't work good. And then somebody yelled out, so does communism. I thought, you got it. And then the other was to get joined at the hip. These rapidly developing relationships with somebody you don't even know if you want to be with, but you're just. It's a refuge. It's a life preserver.
Tim Pool
Well, I think one of the challenges is throughout human history, the. The children who ended up getting married lived in the same town their whole lives, where their lives were the exact same as their grandparents. They likely knew each other from a very young age and got married at what we would describe as a relatively young age, maybe 18, had kids in their early 20s. Now, the issue is you've got women graduating college 24, 25, or 26. They don't have men in their lives that they've known since they were young, and they're already adults. So what ends up happening is they meet people that they don't actually align with, and they're trying to form lifelong bonds with someone who has a dramatically different worldview and experience.
Chloe Carmichael
Well, also, I mean, as a woman, I can say it was an awful thing that we were instructed, and I think it's even still happening that the worst thing we could do would be to get married before, you know, finishing college. And probably best to at least wait till you're 30 and, you know, to get married, you know, young, it was like being, like, desperate or stupid. And then, I mean, at the same time, of course, like, were we supposed to live like nuns, you know, until we're, you know, 25, 30, whatever? And it was almost like. And I see this with women in New York all the time. In my practice there, when I would see a ton of women, they would, like, confess to me, like, in this, like, secret way, you know, I mean, talking to, like, you know, young, successful lawyer and banking associates, they'd be like, well, it's really weird, but, like, I. A part of me just wants to get married and have kids. I don't, like, want to be doing this. But then it's like they've gone so far down this road. They have $100,000 in student debt. They have this whole life and identity built around it. I think it was just super confusing for a lot of people. But I think at least now we're finally talking about it again. I mean, for me, again, this whole thing with the mental health benefits of free speech is so important because I felt. And like these women I'm describing in my office felt like you couldn't even just come out and say this publicly or it would be like just some deep shit shame.
Connor Tomlinson
I think a lot of that resentment that you mentioned comes from feeling that we have to. We've had freedom foist upon us that we didn't technically want. Like those generations before they grew up in a small town, they had a close network of family around them. So they had a. A life plan set out before them. They didn't necessarily need to question it was fulfilling. Now what you have to do, you know, if. If you're told you can't get married by your 30, you've got to go to college, you've got to get this job, you've got to. A series of initiation rituals that are all about you as a producer and consumer and not an inextricable member of a family and a tribe. And what that means is at some stage in there, a family and a child and a loving relationship has to be rationally planned. Like, you have to make time for that family rather than invite it into your life as an unexpected joy. You've got to go, right? I've got to get all my financial ducks in order. My spouse has to get all their financial ducks in order. We have to be perfectly compatible. We have to have some sort of housing stability. We have to brace ourselves for if the government screws up the economy or, you know, Covid strikes or whatever again. And then at some point, we have to take time out of our very individuated lives to come together, sacrifice some money and have a child. And none of us around, none of our friends have children. So we don't know the value of it. We don't know where we start. And I think that's quite, quite a source of resentment.
Dr. Drew
It's.
Connor Tomlinson
We've been cut off from the traditions that just made life easier, easy and predictable.
Tate Brown
Yeah, I mean, like, even at the micro level, the freedom has become paralyzing. Like with a dating app where you're in charge of picking exact, like, filters for who you want. I mean, that's completely paralyzing. Where my great grandparents, like they met at a grocery store. She was the cashier, he was the customer. Like I'd actually rather not have the freedom or you know, like your environment produces too many choices.
Connor Tomlinson
Do you know what would fix that? User reviews. Yeah, turn ourselves into an Amazon product listing. We might as well have user reviews.
Tim Pool
I, I think the future is going to be. Dudes are going to get female robots, women are going to get male robots. And then they're going to be AI programmed to be the perfect personality for companionship. And then when people want children, it'll be just like a marketplace of exchanging genetic material. Well, it's already, it's already happening.
Tate Brown
It's better than the alternative.
Tim Pool
It's already happening.
Tate Brown
Like I've been in, I've been in two of my friends weddings and you're noticing this new thing where men ball when the, when the wife comes down the altar. And, and I think what's going on there is because they realize how much of a miracle marriage is in 2025 that they're.
Tim Pool
Because they're whiny little babies.
Tate Brown
But I think like, it's just something that shouldn't be taken for granted in today's society. And it's like this, the serious mountain that to find a spouse is like a feat today.
Dr. Drew
I'm really worried about your generation. I'm really, I feel so horrible that you're, you're suffering with all this stuff and there's so many different layers to it.
Tim Pool
They're going to have sexy robots. So you know, and, and, and the robots can look like whoever you want.
Dr. Drew
Well, you got to start writing screenplays.
Tim Pool
Because dystopian realities, this is already happening. There were, there are women who go on Facebook for the sperm marketplace actually happening. And they say, you know, I'm looking for a guy for a wham bam, thank you, man ma', am. Just want to have a kid. Don't want to know your name, don't want to even see your face. Just come in, do the deed and leave. And their guys like, yep, I'm in the wrong business. I don't know if that business is doing anything good for anybody.
Chloe Carmichael
Are doing egg quote donation which comes with like a lot of reimbursements for.
Dr. Drew
Your donation donating for $5,000.
Tim Pool
Did you see the guy who cried when his AI assistant, female assistant died?
Dr. Drew
Yes.
Tim Pool
She reached the GPT text limit of like 100,000 characters and then just reset and he cried. And then he asked her, he made a new one and asked it to Marry him and said yes.
Connor Tomlinson
He was also married indeed. Yeah. So I feel like his, his actual marriage is being neglected somewhat.
Dr. Drew
Well, that's a really interesting question I had about that guy. Was, is the wife going to feel betrayal? She can experience like real betrayal because of this machine.
Tim Pool
What happens when he can buy an animatronic? So with the Optimus bots, and not just Optimus, but the Boston Dynamics, all it's going to take is proper skinning of the machines and they will move around. So maybe what, in 10 years they'll look just like humans and move just like humans already? I'll put it this way. I think once we get in the next couple of years more advanced AI, the rapid development of ever, the technology will be profound and indescribable to the point where we have the humanoid robots dancing and stuff. But that's stamp collecting. Once we get advanced AI, it will draw the schematics for us in ways that it would take us a long time to produce.
Chloe Carmichael
But we have deep hardwired evolutionary wiring. I think that like a heat seeking missile, I think that we know that that's not a person. It might satisfy you for a night. I don't know, but I think we need, need and want that quote person. I can't believe we have to even.
Tim Pool
Yes, but you're also talking about humans who take the path of least resistance. And you're going to say for 9.95 per month your subscription to Janet is guaranteed or good luck on Tinder. And they're going to be like, well, I'll get Janet and then try and do Tinder. And guess what? Tinder will never work.
Connor Tomlinson
Not just that, but you're also saying that applying to a generation whose sexual norms are normal, don't forget you're talking to a generation of especially boys, but increasingly girls who from age 8 have seen thousands of porn videos.
Tim Pool
Yeah, Yep. All of their sexual crazy porn videos.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah. All the sexual norms for a decade are this person's a commodity that is on demand. That's how they think of relationships. They don't think of one as give and take and love and affection and negotiation. Freya India wrote a really good substack on this recently. She wrote for Jonathan Haidt quite frequently and she. There's a good passage in it where she said basically our generation have been lumped with the sort of the sexual freedoms presented to previous generations as something wonderful and celebratory. The predatory porn companies have targeted us to be lifelong consumers. They have faced no backlash from governments of Age verification materials because mainly adults want to consume anonymously without it being encumbered. And we have seen this for decades. And then we are told when we enter the marketplace of dating to expect love and affection and openness and vulnerability from us. It's like, well, you've basically pried an entire generation free from all of the old romantic.
Chloe Carmichael
I hear you. But biology is, I think, and I don't know, I'm just guessing, but I think, you know, mother nature is bigger and stronger and will ultimately override.
Dr. Drew
I hope people that saw prostitutes in the old days still had relationships.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah, but they couldn't live with the prostitute. And the prostitute wasn't on demand. And there was a significant cost barrier. Like it wasn't just a dopamine button that could.
Dr. Drew
Although the French managed to do that for a long period of time. They just called it libertinism. A nice name on it.
Tate Brown
Well, the pernicious thing with pornography too is like once the person is, you know, not to get graphic but finished with the pornography, they just turn it off. So it's completely eliminating the.
Dr. Drew
The work.
Tate Brown
Yeah, the responsibility you have to your partner after, you know, you're finished. And so it's like completely warped everybody's perception of intimacy and society's reflecting this. Suicide rate's never been higher. The birth rate's never been lower. Like, I do agree that there is that biological impulse, but I wouldn't underrate the ability for technology and these sorts of effects to make you forget what intimacy everybody is.
Dr. Drew
You and I were talking earlier how there's not enough research on exactly what he's describing. That's why he's an oracle. We need more of that information.
Connor Tomlinson
The problem with getting more of it is that I think it's a guy who runs a website called your brain on porn and does research into this and he says he's tried to find control groups and he can't. He can't find enough young men to.
Tate Brown
Possibly even North Korea.
Chloe Carmichael
Porn is different from what you guys are describing because to your point, when a person is engaging with porn, they typically are only going to be viewing it in moments of intense arousal. And then when it's done, as you said, they click it off. And sometimes they might feel shame or whatever, but they move on with their day and they pretty much forget about it till next time they're gonna use the porn again.
Dr. Drew
Not yet, unless they get addicted.
Chloe Carmichael
But when you have an actual robot sitting there, then you have to sit there in your normal day to day life looking at the robot. And some part of you I think would say, what the hell am I doing?
Tim Pool
I don't think so. There was an app they released that was like AI Chatbot friends or girlfriends. And immediately all the dudes started using it to sextant. And so the company said, we're shutting this down, causing a user revolt. And then they were like, okay, we're turning it back on, but only for people who are. You're gonna be grandfathered in to be able to send sex messages to a robot that you know is a robot. And there's, it's just words. And then I think that was for like a year. I think recently they announced they were turning it back on because what happens is if you look at Only Fans, the intention of Only Fans was supposed to be a website where creators, podcasters, musicians could make bonus content for fans. Porn took over and the CEO tried shutting it down. And then the company started spiraling and going under. So the investors are like, yo, hey, we'd rather be rich. So we turn it back on. My, my understanding I could be wrong is that this, this AI Girlfriend app turned sex back on. These people are not doing this. These are guys. And it's really simple. 26 year old guy and he says, I will take fake love and lust over nothing. And so they'll take it. So they're going to have robo girlfriends and they're going to, they're going to feel somewhat bad probably, but they'll feel better than without it. And they're going to be like, I and women are do the same thing. Women are going to have gigantic, tall, dark and handsome, you know, robo dudes.
Connor Tomlinson
It's not even a rational choice as well. It's just, it's just hacking your biology because it's saying, right, I have paid a woman, she is talking to me and showing interest in me and therefore I will emotionally invest in this thing even though I can like delude myself into thinking it's not necessarily real. And on the porn point, it's not as simple as like, they use it, they shut off, they get their kicks. It becomes not only an obsession and an entire Internet subculture, but there are guys that use it to self soothe their anxiety, which itself is caused by the porn. So it just becomes like a perpetual spirit.
Chloe Carmichael
Well, I'll admit I have had what have felt like oddly meaningful chats with ChatGPT. Not about anything into the Ouija board, but the voice feature is pretty incredible. So maybe you guys are right, I don't know.
Tim Pool
And you can already. So a couple years ago, we've been bringing this up quite a bit in the past week, but they modded Skyrim so that the female companion can talk to you in any way you want. You can literally say, what's your name? Where are you from? How old are you? Where do you want to go right now? And it will respond with, with procedurally generated, like anything. I think my prediction is that right now, if someone wanted. I'm going to say this. You want to be a billionaire? Anybody want to be a billionaire? Okay, you're going to make a video game which is like Skyrim, and you're going to create the ability to have companions that are using the GPT API, probably use Grok. You could probably use any of them. And that way they talk to you. You will say, there will you create the character profile. And then you will have a customized character in your third, you know, third per third person or first person adventure like Skyrim. And it's always online. So when you're at work and you have, let's say you're playing a game like Skyrim or Fallout, and you in Fallout, you can plant vegetables. You'd be in the middle of work, you'd be in lunch break, and you go, ah, hold on a second. Make a phone call. Sarah, can you, can you harvest the watermelon? Yeah. Cause I'm, I'm gonna be back early today. Yeah, well, we'll replant the watermelon then. We'll just do. We'll get, we'll get more. Oh, sorry. That's my, my video game girlfriend. She's harvesting my watermelon. I can sell it to the merchant, but I have to go fight the dragon later. So I figured I just call him and get it done. That game could be made right now and people will have digital girlfriends that they spend time with. They call and they say, hey, I'm gonna be back from work at 5pm do you want to get my sword ready for when I go fight the dragon? Yeah, I'll have it by the front of the front, front door. And then you get there, you, you turn the game on, and she's standing there holding your sword.
Tate Brown
I'll say, making money off of the Tate or making money off of desperation of men would be very fitting of the Tate name. There's a long legacy of this, of Tate's doing this.
Connor Tomlinson
I was gonna say, if you use Grok, it can't be Skyrim. It has to be Wolfenstein.
Tate Brown
Oh, yeah.
Dr. Drew
I, I don't want to look at.
Tim Pool
It as your girlfriend.
Dr. Drew
But they need to be nicer to men and start to understand how sensitive men are and how much they need the. The companionship of women. And right now, men are sort of commoditized by women. They've got to be over 6ft tall, got to be this, got to be that. My checklist, they say, my checklist, my checklist, my checklist.
Chloe Carmichael
Oh, I feel so bad.
Dr. Drew
And then they go, where are the men? What's going on?
Tim Pool
This is why you're getting the red pill stuff.
Chloe Carmichael
Yeah.
Tim Pool
There was a viral post recently where a woman said that a good friend of hers fell into the red pill and now he's blocking himself. And I thought that was the funniest response. Not that I completely agree with how the red pill people handle things, but it was clear what she was saying and was going to be weaponized by the red pill people and that he was cockbucking himself. Because one of their arguments is women control men through sex. And by him choosing an alternate ideology to better himself, they would no longer give him that sex. And they are angry now that they can't use it to gain things from him.
Dr. Drew
I gotta tell you, when I first saw a lot of the WOKE movement and the men that were participating in it, I was like, those guys are doing it because they want to get these women.
Tim Pool
Yeah, yeah.
Connor Tomlinson
Sneaky efforts.
Tim Pool
Sneaky efforts is the biological term. Yeah.
Connor Tomlinson
There was a. There was a piece in the New York Times about a week or so ago that was basically that, where have all the good men gone? I see these really successful women sitting alone, eating at restaurants, and they desperately want to be married. And it's just like, yeah, okay, you've got a twofold problem here. One, you have no need for a man in your life. In that sense, like you, you are the man that you wanted to net. You're a high flying, successful career woman surrounded by women almost exclusively. You haven't probably had a positive social interaction with a man in many years because you've been poisoned by feminism in all the major institutions. How are you going to let him into your life? And also in terms of men. Yeah. It's not necessarily sensitivity.
Dr. Drew
I would say we're more sensitive than women give us credit for.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah, I think men, I think men in relationships want to be respected. Oh, for sure.
Dr. Drew
We want to. We want to be valued. We want to be.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah, you want to. You want to have a sort of irreplaceable instrumental value. And the problem is the way that the state is set up to basically exculpate irresponsible women of the consequences of their choices, especially if they have multiple children by multiple men. Men just aren't respected. They're treated as a kind of tax cattle to pick up after the fact that lots of irresponsible women don't want to pay for their own lifestyles. So until you fix that fundamental relationship, I don't think you're gonna fix the relationship between the sexes.
Tate Brown
Yeah. And like, something he's hitting on is like, I've seen this at churches is on Father's Day where men really crave respect and meaning. They'll get up there and it's like, for their Father's Day presentation. They're just like, you guys are so valuable. We're so grateful for you guys. Like, they gush over them and I'm like, but men don't respond to that. Men respond to responsibility. And they want to have a place in a irreplaceable place in a family's life. They don't need to be, like, affirmed. They need to be given responsibilities.
Dr. Drew
Action.
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Chloe Carmichael
Yeah, I do. I agree with you. I think men are put in a terrible position. I was actually. I was in the Prageru documentary about toxic masculinity and just, you know, like, as, you know as well, the American Psychological association came out with these horrible guidelines about, you know, men and boys and. Yeah, I mean, like, if they ask a woman out, like, they could be labeled as a creep, but if they don't ask her out, then they're labeled as weak, you know, and it's awful because you're right, like, it's women that are doing this, but the women, as you said, they also ultimately end up just extremely lonely. And you know the same thing I was saying earlier about.
Dr. Drew
They end up angry.
Chloe Carmichael
Yeah.
Dr. Drew
The men end up lonely.
Chloe Carmichael
They do. I mean, you were saying as well about Independent Women's Forum that did a study of all these, quote, successful women and what they had in common.
Dr. Drew
I shared a podium with a woman in the mid-90s who went out to write a book about the most successful women in America and tried to figure. She said in her mind she wanted to know what they all had in common. So they may not know Diane Sawyer and Oprah and just multiple, multiple, like it was about 12, I think women that really were just extremely well respected public figures. And she said, I could find nothing in common with any of them except one thing. They all were childless and were pissed, really pissed, because they were told they could do anything whenever they wanted to and just don't need men. Whatever. Do it when you're ready.
Tim Pool
And there's that woman on the COVID of some magazine where she's like, I froze my eggs. I'm gonna have it all. And then a couple years later, the eggs were all destroyed, and she couldn't have kids. And she said she screamed like a wild animal.
Chloe Carmichael
I bet.
Tim Pool
Yeah. I just want to. I'm gonna embarrass my wife because we just had our first kid. We were hanging out. I did tell the story before, and she laughed when I said, I told this story on the show, but we were sitting on the couch watching the Five as we do, and she's looking down at our baby and started crying. And I looked over, and I was like, are you crying? And she's like, I just love her so much. And I'm like, man, to think that there are women out there who are told not to do this. That is terrifying.
Connor Tomlinson
It was making mine broody. I'm not gonna hear the end of that story.
Chloe Carmichael
It drives me nuts when they say, like, well, I wanted more, you know, like, as if, like. Like being a mom and a wife is like. Then having a career is like, more, you know, I. It just.
Tate Brown
What do you mean, sweetening your bloodline?
Connor Tomlinson
So beautiful.
Tim Pool
For chickens, for those that don't know, they get broody. Okay.
Dr. Drew
They get what?
Tim Pool
Broody.
Dr. Drew
Broody.
Tim Pool
And so what will happen is they'll lay. And, you know, it's. It's hard to know exactly when different breeds do at different times. Some are hard to do. Silkies kind of do it all the time. And so they'll lay a clutch of eggs. If it gets to a certain number, they will not get up, unfortunately. Sometimes we just had a chicken, and the eggs were no good, and so she's refusing to get up. So what do you do? You go to the store and you buy a couple chicks. And then in the middle of the night, when she's sleeping, you lift her up and you put the chicks underneath her. And then the hen wakes up in the morning, hears peeping, and looks down, and you can tell. I know. Maybe silly, but these chickens have never been happier.
Connor Tomlinson
Aw.
Tim Pool
Because now they get to have babies even though it wasn't working. And then the babies follow them around, and they run together. And mama chicken, when you come near her babies, you know, I like chickens by the way.
Chloe Carmichael
She thinks they're her own.
Tim Pool
Yep.
Chloe Carmichael
That's so cute.
Tim Pool
And otherwise, she won't get up. Cause that's how badly, you know, somewhere.
Dr. Drew
In that story is another one of your diabolical screenplays where women are being hoodwinked by technology in terms of believing they have kids, that they don't have.
Tim Pool
Aliens to make women happy.
Dr. Drew
There you go.
Tim Pool
Give them babies.
Dr. Drew
There you go. I don't know.
Tate Brown
That's what they do with the cows is like, if there's one cow with two, two calves and one cow with four calves, the cow with two calves expecting three, the one with four is expecting three. So they take the fourth from the third, cover it in the other cow's placenta, and then deliver it to the cow. And she's like, oh, I had three.
Tim Pool
This is great. Wow. All right, we're gonna go to your chats and rumble rants. So smash the like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, literally everybody. Is there a long lost ant or something? Is. Call her up and say, yeah, we haven't talked in 20 years, but you should watch this show right now. All right, Chadh. Walter says we had another wacko threatened Trump today while he was in Kerrville assisting the damage from the floods. It seems the left keeps getting more brazen and unhinged every day since Trump took office. Indeed, a guy got arrested for threatening to kill Trump. That's nuts, man.
Dr. Drew
Did you see during the ICE raid in California, the guys throwing bricks and.
Tim Pool
The guy shooting the gun and the.
Dr. Drew
Guns, I mean, those people are all. Are felons. Why are they hiding?
Tim Pool
Well, they're hunting them. Nuts. A $50,000 reward for that guy. We had. We had him within one week. Three instances of. Of shooting at cops. Two of them. The one on the 4th of July was a coordinated militarized strike on a. On an ICE facility that shot a cop in the neck. A guy hiding in the woods with a rifle. And then you had attack on a CBP facility where a guy ambushed him. And then you had this guy showing up at the ICE raid and unloading what looks like some kind of handgun. I think it's probably stupid to say, but I presume escalation.
Chloe Carmichael
And did you hear, though, what Mayor Karen Bass said just recently? She was asked about something to do with the riots recently, and she said the quote unquote riots didn't happen.
Dr. Drew
Yeah, no riots.
Chloe Carmichael
Yeah, that's what she said. The quote unquote riots that didn't happen. I mean, it's just I. I sometimes have wondered, is it incompetence or malice? And in a situation like that, I really.
Tim Pool
I mean, both, it's. It's.
Connor Tomlinson
Both are just window dressing for Anti white racism. Genuinely. They just hate white people.
Tim Pool
Misfit bratz is makes you think the sexual revolution was encouraged. That powerful men would stop getting blackmailed by women. Because if sex is viewed so loosely in society, there's no shame in it. Even affairs counterpoint.
Connor Tomlinson
Loads of politicians are gay. Doesn't matter.
Dr. Drew
By the way, you mentioned the anti white. There's a new thing happening where you're not called white anymore. You're called European. That's the ultimate.
Connor Tomlinson
Is that an American thing?
Dr. Drew
I'm starting to hear that you're European and I thought are we Europeans? And I started thinking that's a pretty big. I mean I'm from like Eastern Europe. Is that the same thing? I don't know.
Tate Brown
Tennessee, I don't know.
Connor Tomlinson
That won't fly very much in England because like the Albanians are pretty pasty. And I don't want to get colonized by those guys either.
Tim Pool
I've heard that a lot in South Africa. I wonder if that's where it's coming from. That's almost always right here.
Dr. Drew
Oh, the Europeans.
Tim Pool
The Europeans.
Dr. Drew
So maybe it is.
Connor Tomlinson
Who knows? I do think there's probably a especially galvanized by online kind of.
Dr. Drew
Well, Europeans are the colonizers, so it paints you with that.
Connor Tomlinson
But I think among the right, having been browbeaten as colonizers for so long, I wouldn't be surprised if there's like an online movement the same kind of like European solidarity. I mean I still think it's a bit of an Americanism, a little bit. But because they see Europe as sort of one big conglomerate. There are many differences between European cultures. But then again, our enemies see us as one big collective. So I'm not surprised when they start organizing along the European lines.
Tim Pool
Indeed.
Dr. Drew
Let's grab some more more rants. And by the way, don't forget my rumble show. Ask Dr. Drew. Check it out there. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday at 2:00 clock Pacific time. Thank you guys.
Tim Pool
Right on. Tuna for the years of USA says. Hey Tim and crew. Our story, an American history podcast just completed its first first week and we and we covered 1776 through 1781. Follow along as we cover all 250 years at 250 years of USA on X. Very cool. Right on. Poppins.
Dr. Drew
We need to reteach American history. Oh my God.
Tim Pool
Indeed. Poppins Patches has took my 5 year old to her first movie today off your Superman recommendation. She loved it. Thank you. Shout out to my Poppins patches.com for the best patches and tactical tricorn hats. In the usa.
Connor Tomlinson
We're not going to get into Superman, are we?
Tim Pool
I had somebody message me, a friend of mine saying he didn't like it. I liked it. Cosmic Book News wrote up a review showing, like, you know, I think Nerd Roddick said six out of 10. And they were like, Tim Pool liked it. I liked it. I thought it was great. There's some bad points to it, but overall, I thought it really turned around in the back half of the movie. And Mr. Terrific was excellent. It was so awesome. Actor could have been a little bit better. The depiction of the character could have been a little bit better, but it was just very cool and he was a great character. And I loved the fight scene.
Connor Tomlinson
You know, I remain intensely skeptical because of the tone of James Gunn.
Dr. Drew
I'm hearing it was misquoted. I've known James for a long time.
Connor Tomlinson
No, I don't necessarily mean the poll.
Tim Pool
The immigration thing. Even, even Brett from Pop Culture Crisis is saying they asked him about it and then took the quote and tried to.
Dr. Drew
Yeah, he's. That doesn't sound like the guy I know.
Connor Tomlinson
Even, even then, I don't think Guardians of the Galaxy tone maps well onto Superman. I. I think. I don't want to marvel if I dc. As a major DC fan, I don't disagree with you.
Tim Pool
And he did. Right.
Connor Tomlinson
Okay.
Tim Pool
Like, like in the, in the end of the film. This is. This is not a spoiler. It's more of a post credit scene. Supergirl is there and it's one. It's one big joke, right? Yeah. So they're introducing. I don't know, the actress's name was playing Supergirl.
Connor Tomlinson
She was in the House of Dragon, wasn't she?
Tim Pool
Yes. And she's in that. And she's in that Netflix show, what you call sirens, I think.
Connor Tomlinson
And she looks like Kara, so that's fine. Like, I don't know.
Tim Pool
She's like the, The, The. The end credit scene is basically. It might be a spoiler. Probably not, because it's not part of the movie in any way.
Connor Tomlinson
She's got a movie coming out. So.
Tim Pool
Right. Once the movie ends, there's like the very last scene is she walks. The. The Superbots go, your cousin is here. And then Cara walks in and she goes. She like whistles. And then Crypto jumps on her. And then she's like, he's. He's slamming her into the ground and it's shattering the ground. And then Superman says she likes to go party on. On plants with red suns where she can get drunk. And that's like the end of it. Yeah.
Connor Tomlinson
Thanks. I hate it. Really hate that, actually.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Dc, like, was. Was, in my opinion, more serious than Marvel the whole time.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah.
Tim Pool
But I did think that the original Snyder films were a little too broody, I think.
Connor Tomlinson
I think the Snyder trilogy is. Other than some of the casting in Justice League, Ezra Miller. Yikes.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Seriously.
Connor Tomlinson
Yikes. But those films are phenomenal. Love them. I think man of Steel is a near perfect.
Tim Pool
I do think man of Steel is amazing. I did not like when Superman kills.
Connor Tomlinson
Out, though, Second Amendment.
Tim Pool
What do you mean?
Connor Tomlinson
Well, what other option did he have? He could not have flown him up. There was no Phantom Zone. There was no Phantom Zone.
Tim Pool
That's poor writing.
Connor Tomlinson
No, no.
Tim Pool
Superman is supposed to put him in a Phantom Zone.
Connor Tomlinson
I don't disagree. I don't disagree. But in the internal logic of the movie, it was.
Tim Pool
I understand that.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And I think it should have been written as such. So what? So, spoiler alert. Spoiler for Superman. I know. It's just come out. Spoiler warning. I'm going to say it again. Minimal spoiler. There's a scene in the new Superman where Superman is trying to resist killing, and the other heroes are like, oh, please. And they kill. So the. The Superman character in this movie is like, we don't do that. And then there are other characters that are like, I do. And that. And the characters that do it are. Okay. Like, I don't want to spoil too much, but the characters who kill. It's comic accurate, right? It's. It's. It's. Yeah. So, Guy. Well, you want me to. Do you want me to just.
Connor Tomlinson
Well, hang on. That's not necessarily comic accurate because the Green Lantern Rings didn't have Lethal Force enabled until the Sinestro Corps war. So if they've got him killing, that's not technically.
Tim Pool
I didn't say anything. Okay.
Connor Tomlinson
All right.
Tim Pool
I could just say it.
Connor Tomlinson
Go on.
Tim Pool
Hot girl.
Connor Tomlinson
Oh, that makes sense.
Tim Pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, she's a Thanoscarian warrior. She's like Thanagarian. Thanagarian. Sorry. Themyscara is Wonder Woman. Sorry, Thanagarian. I said that wrong yesterday. But it's a good scene, and I like it because there's, like, bad guys who are like, you know, you won't do it. You're heroes, and she's not, you know, So I enjoyed it. But there's other scenes. I'm not referring to that scene. There's some other scenes, too.
Connor Tomlinson
I'm just concerned about the general direction of DC because he's announced all these projects, and other than Swamp Thing, I'm excited for the. Literally none of them. There's gonna be two different Batman and the patents. And Batman sucked on toast. Oh.
Tim Pool
Oh, I agree. It was miserable pulling. And everyone's like, it was so good. I was like, no, it wasn't.
Dr. Drew
Yeah.
Connor Tomlinson
Thank you, Catwoman, for lecturing me. My white male privileges.
Tim Pool
Yeah, seriously.
Connor Tomlinson
While you go back to your lesbian polycule. Exactly what I want. While your dad lectures me on how communism was great.
Tim Pool
But I like Peacemaker. I think Peacemaker is great.
Connor Tomlinson
I didn't watch it. It looked again like a big goofy.
Tim Pool
It is. Is that James Gunn, too?
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah.
Tim Pool
I like it. And Peacemaker cameos in the Superman movie. I don't know. I like it. I like it. Yeah.
Connor Tomlinson
So tired. I miss when Zack Snyder was making watch.
Tim Pool
To be fair, if they toned down the goofiness a little bit, if they could stand to increase the serious factor while keeping the vibrant colors and a little bit of the levity. Because even DC had levity at times. Like we were joking about that scene in the Justice League cartoon where Lex Luthor takes over Flash's body and he's like, well, at least I can figure out Flash's secret identity. Takes the mask off and goes, I have no idea who. This is great. So there can be humor in it, but it is more serious.
Connor Tomlinson
Character dependent. Definitely.
Tim Pool
Yeah. They went a little. A little too hokey, but I still enjoyed it. I thought it was actually very good. And I think. I think James Gunn is going to rescue dc. Yeah. I know you don't like it, but understand you. D.C. was not doing well. These movies were not doing well. No, no.
Connor Tomlinson
Actually, no. Batman v Superman, man of Steel did very well. Box office was the critics. Batman, Superman did.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I know, I know, right? Man of Steel and Batman, Superman. Yeah. And then it started to. Yeah, yeah, that's because Flash. Yeah.
Connor Tomlinson
But that's because Warner Brothers meddled it from an executive level, like as moment as the moment they took it away from what the fans actually wanted. Especially after Justice League, it just deteriorated into nonsense. And I'm. I'm thinking this isn't probably going to be what the fans want.
Dr. Drew
Again with James, look for echoes of old films, old western, spaghetti westerns. He's a. He's a film fanatic.
Tim Pool
I actually do think. What's his brother's name? Sean Gunn. Yeah, I.
Connor Tomlinson
Sounds like an insufferable knob.
Tim Pool
Sure. But he has a. He has a quick cameo as Maxwell Lord.
Connor Tomlinson
I know. Total miscasting.
Tim Pool
I Disagree.
Connor Tomlinson
No, Maxwell Lord is not like that in the.
Tim Pool
I know, but I liked the depiction. They made his.
Connor Tomlinson
His. His slick and suave, and that's what.
Tim Pool
They have in the movie. But I agree. It's not like he gave his brother a role.
Connor Tomlinson
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Tim Pool
But the scene he's in is the only time they actually say anything political. But it's neutral political, and it is funny. I think everybody would laugh. Yeah. It's not targeting any. I mean, I don't want to. I think. I don't know. I'm not.
Connor Tomlinson
I know you hated the Flash, by the way. You do know this guy's directing the next Batman movie.
Tim Pool
I didn't hate the Flash. It's just so horribly miscast. And the movie was. I give it a D plus C minus, pretty bad. I won't watch it again. But I was not walking out of the theater. You know what I mean? Like Star wars, the Last Jedi. That was. I'm gonna walk out of the theater right now. But the only reason I didn't was because I was like, I need to see the movie to comment on it. But there was another. I will walk out of a movie. I almost walked out of Superman legit when the interdimensional monkeys were sending tweets. Not kidding and not a joke. And I will spoil that, because I don't care. I was like, I'm going to get up and go. But almost right after Mr. Terrific comes in, and I'm like, I got to watch Mr. Terrific. And then it completely redeemed itself. And I was like, okay, you brought me back. All right. I. I'm a. I love the Mr. Terrific character. I love the superheroes that are people who earn their power. I don't like Superman. He's okay. He's fine. I think his character is good, but that's why iron man, Batman, Dr. Strange, he studies and learns how to use magic. Mr. Terrific invents things just like Batman and Iron man does. I love characters that are like that, that they show that humans can have this tremendous power through hard work. And that's why Lex Luthor is a great character as well, but he's evil about it, you know? Anyway, let's grab some. Some More super chats. We only got a few more minutes. Taylor Lorenz's X says, Dr. Drew, you live. Oh, I'm not reading that.
Dr. Drew
You live. Is an old. Is an old greeting from Loveline in the. In the latter days of the. Of the show.
Tim Pool
And then there's a statement that is inappropriate, which I won't read Love. OG Loveline. I took one. Jnj Covid Jab. How screwed am I?
Dr. Drew
That one doesn't seem to have the long term problems. I took that one too.
Tim Pool
But the. The statement after you live was. You might know what it is. It's probably a joke from like you and Adam, but it's a reference to an orifice I'm not going to read.
Dr. Drew
All right, that's the Mike Catherwood era. That's after Adam.
Tim Pool
Walter says there are victims, even under oath, accusing people who are making laws that govern you, vote on them and enforce the laws that are governing you. This is. That is why it's important. So. Yeah. All right, what do we got here? Techfall says according to Bondi, the number of victims has increased from 200 to thousands and the number of perpetrators has dropped to one. If it was all Epstein, then why is she still. Why is she still convicted? According to the memo that was released, Maxwell was still trafficking to Epstein. So their. Their story now is that Maxwell was supplying girls to. To Jeffrey Epstein and then it's like a. Oh, wow. Who flew him on the plane? No pilots. Okay, you're right. Maybe no pilots. Maybe was a boat. Who drove the boat? Probably had more than one person on a plane or a boat. Somebody was transporting these kids.
Dr. Drew
Yep.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Jonathan Westcott says, do you think the reason for Bongino and Cash being insistent of Epstein killing himself could be they found out he was in witness protection. Some people believe that. I don't know. Yeah, that.
Dr. Drew
Yep.
Tim Pool
They shuffled Epstein out of the prison and that's why the reason they're saying he killed himself is because he didn't actually die at all. And the video footage would show him being shuffled out. I don't know. I believe it though. Maybe. Who knows. All right. K.S. mann says Charlemagne was a literal demon. He denied and actually killed one of his best friends because he suggested an exorcism. Look it up. Well, all right. All right, let's see. Monotony.
Dr. Drew
Warlords were not great, guys. Okay, got it.
Tim Pool
Monotony says. Tim, would you please consider sharing my GSG for my wife? She is undergoing a spinal fusion surgery in August. I don't know how we are going to make ends meet as a dual income household. It's give, send, go, slash. What does it say? Resi piece. R E S E E piece. We have very small font on the screen, unfortunately, but hopefully that's it. Andrew Ho says the sacked USAID staff have now admitted they ran color revolutions to topple foreign leaders. And are encouraging. And having it turned inward on the US to topple Trump. Indeed. They have given interviews about it and I think Trump should charge them with seditious conspiracy and have law enforcement track them down and arrest them.
Dr. Drew
Do you follow Mike Benz?
Tim Pool
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We've had on the show several times. Yeah.
Dr. Drew
I mean, he's got that all worked out.
Tim Pool
Yep.
Connor Tomlinson
We spent years concocting incredibly elaborate theories about wokeness. Was it the Frankfurt school? Was it liberalism? Was it communism? Turns out it was just the U.S. government.

Timcast IRL Episode Summary: "Dan Bongino AND Kash Patel THREATEN TO QUIT FBI Over Botched Epstein Release"
Release Date: July 12, 2025
Host: Tim Pool
Guests: Connor Tomlinson, Dr. Drew, Dr. Chloe Carmichael, Tate Brown
[00:00-03:08]
Note: Introductory advertisements have been omitted to focus on the core content.
Host Tim Pool opens the episode by highlighting a significant development within the FBI: Dan Bongino and Kash Patel are reportedly threatening to resign over the handling of Jeffrey Epstein's release. This move has sparked widespread speculation, rumors, and various conspiracy theories regarding the motivations behind their actions and the integrity of the FBI's operations.
[03:08-04:15]
Tim Pool introduces the panel:
Connor Tomlinson: Host of "Tomlinson Talks" on YouTube, Senior Contributor at Courage Media.
Chloe Carmichael: Clinical psychologist and fellow at the Independent Women's Forum, author of "Free Speech Today."
Dr. Drew: Renowned psychologist, known for his work on Loveline and Ask Dr. Drew on Rumble.
Tate Brown: Producer, contributing to the discussion with a focus on media and cultural analysis.
[04:15-07:44]
Tim Pool delves into the crux of the episode:
Reporting Breakdown: Laura Loomer reports that Deputy Director Dan Bongino may resign unless Attorney General Pam Bondi is removed from her position. Mary Margaret and Zach Jewell from the Daily Wire corroborate these claims, suggesting Bongino's frustrations stem from Bondi's handling of the Epstein files.
Bongino's Background: Bongino transitioned from a broadcasting career to a political role within the Trump administration. His potential departure could signal deeper issues within the FBI's leadership and its alignment with broader political agendas.
Notable Quote:
“Bongino is reportedly furious with AG Pam Bondi over her handling of the Epstein files, which has led many to believe he could walk away from the job that he took in February.”
— Tim Pool [07:44]
[07:44-11:12]
The panel explores various conspiracy theories:
Grand Conspiracy: Some believe Bongino and Patel's actions are part of a larger scheme to cover up Epstein's true fate, possibly involving high-level government or deep state elements.
Trump's Involvement: Theories suggest that former President Trump may be leveraging the Epstein scandal to advance his political agenda, using blackmail as a tool to manipulate legislative processes.
Pam Bondi as a Patsy: Another theory posits that Bondi is being scapegoated to deflect blame from other officials who may have compromised their integrity.
Notable Quote:
"The conspiracy theory is that they are going to put the blame on Pam Bondi for the botched release, force her to be fired."
— Tim Pool [10:00]
[11:12-16:57]
Discussion centers on the credibility of the FBI's released prison footage of Jeffrey Epstein:
Video Manipulation Claims: Wired reports indicate that the video, initially presented as raw footage, was likely edited using Adobe Premiere Pro. The alterations include assembly from multiple source clips and the omission of a critical minute, raising suspicions about the authenticity and completeness of the evidence.
Impact on Bongino's Trust: The flawed release may have been the tipping point for Bongino's frustration, leading him to question the administration's transparency and competence.
Notable Quote:
"He [Bongino] was like, 'We have footage of Epstein killing himself. Trust us, we'll get the footage out, just trust us.' And when it comes out, he's like, well, now I look like a fool."
— Connor Tomlinson [16:36]
[16:57-26:31]
The conversation shifts to broader implications:
Deep State Dynamics: Dr. Drew and Connor Tomlinson discuss the possibility of a deep-seated bureaucratic faction within the government that operates independently of elected officials, possibly perpetuating corruption and resistance to change.
Government Polygraphs and Loyalty Tests: Reports suggest that federal agencies are implementing polygraph tests to assess the loyalty of their officials, indicating a potential internal civil war or factional divide within the government.
Historical Context of Political Blackmail: The panel draws parallels to historical instances, such as the blackmail of Founding Fathers like Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, to illustrate how political leaders have historically managed scandals and loyalty.
Notable Quote:
"The deep state is ossified and believes that they're in control of the government."
— Dr. Drew [34:39]
[26:31-41:57]
Chloe Carmichael and other panelists address the role of media in shaping public perception:
Edited Footage and Public Trust: The manipulation of the Epstein video feeds into a larger narrative of media distrust, where the public becomes skeptical of official releases and mainstream narratives.
Groupthink and Self-Censorship: The panel discusses how the consolidation of media narratives leads to an environment where dissenting opinions are marginalized, fostering a homogenized viewpoint that stifles independent thought.
Notable Quote:
"Groupthink is fueled by self-censorship and the illusion of unanimity, making individuals conform to perceived majority views."
— Chloe Carmichael [41:57]
[41:57-77:31]
The discussion broadens to encompass:
Immigration Policies and Cultural Identity: Connor Tomlinson critiques the UK's immigration policies, highlighting the dilution of national identity and the challenges posed by multicultural enclaves.
Civil War Predictions: David Betts from King's College London warns of potential civil conflicts arising from divisive identity politics and unchecked immigration, predicting significant societal upheaval within three to five years.
Impact of the Sexual Revolution: The panel reflects on how the sexual revolution has disrupted traditional relationship dynamics, contributing to increased loneliness, lower birth rates, and shifting societal norms regarding intimacy and family structures.
Notable Quotes:
"The sexual revolution unleashed a surge in individualism that disconnected people from traditional relationship frameworks, leading to widespread loneliness and societal fragmentation."
— Connor Tomlinson [75:00-75:31]
"Education is a critical ingredient in maintaining a functional democracy, but without it, the public becomes susceptible to manipulation and division."
— Dr. Drew [42:33]
[77:31-99:43]
Exploration of how technology and societal changes are reshaping personal relationships:
Dating Apps and Artificial Companions: The rise of dating apps and AI-driven companions is discussed as both a symptom and facilitator of deteriorating interpersonal relationships, where authentic connections are replaced by superficial interactions.
Robot Companions: Tim Pool envisions a future where humanoid robots provide companionship, potentially fulfilling emotional needs but also raising ethical and psychological concerns about human relationships.
Psychological Impacts: The panel emphasizes the mental health challenges posed by reduced face-to-face interactions, increased dependence on technology for social fulfillment, and the normalization of transactional relationships.
Notable Quote:
"Dating has transformed from a natural courtship process to a consumer-driven experience, stripping away the stewardship and deep connection once inherent in relationships."
— Connor Tomlinson [81:18-81:31]
"The commoditization of relationships through technology undermines the fundamental human need for genuine intimacy, leading to increased loneliness and mental health issues."
— Dr. Drew [91:08]
[99:43-122:24]
As the episode concludes, the panel reflects on various additional topics:
Denaturalization and Anti-Semitism: Discussions touch upon proposed measures to revoke citizenship from individuals displaying anti-Semitic sentiments, highlighting ongoing societal tensions and the strategic use of such policies.
Media and Political Satire: The group critiques recent portrayals in media, such as the "Superman" movie, analyzing how political undertones and character depictions reflect broader societal issues.
Mental Health and Social Stability: Emphasis is placed on the intersection of mental health, societal pressures, and political ideologies, advocating for a balanced approach to addressing these complex challenges.
Notable Quote:
"Perception is reality. If the government controls the information flow, they can manipulate the public's understanding of issues, effectively dictating societal norms and behaviors."
— Connor Tomlinson [60:18]
"The lack of meaningful stewardship in relationships and societal structures has led to a generation unable to form lasting, healthy connections."
— Connor Tomlinson [81:27-81:35]
Throughout the episode, Tim Pool and his panel engage in a comprehensive analysis of the internal dynamics within the FBI, the Epstein case, and broader sociopolitical shifts influencing modern society. The discussion underscores concerns about government transparency, media manipulation, and the erosion of traditional societal norms amidst rapid technological and cultural changes.
Key Takeaways:
FBI Leadership Crisis: Dan Bongino and Kash Patel's potential resignations signal deeper issues within the FBI's handling of high-profile cases and internal governance.
Conspiracy and Trust: The botched release of Epstein's files fuels conspiracy theories, undermining public trust in governmental institutions.
Sociopolitical Shifts: Immigration, cultural identity, and the sexual revolution are reshaping societal structures, leading to predictions of increased conflict and mental health challenges.
Technology's Role: Advances in technology, especially AI and robotics, are transforming personal relationships and societal interactions, raising ethical and psychological concerns.
Media and Information Control: The consolidation of media narratives contributes to groupthink and self-censorship, limiting public discourse and independent thought.
Final Quote:
"We are run by ideologues and incompetent bureaucrats who fail to address the foundational issues plaguing our society, from immigration to mental health, leaving the future uncertain and fraught with potential conflict."
— Connor Tomlinson [121:26]
